In my current tank I have two great looking red shoulder severums that are both still young. When we bought them they were from the same tank full of other red shoulder severums just like themselves. When we brought them home and put them into the tank they were getting along very well and there were no issues or anything and the tank was peaceful. As time progressed the bigger severum has begun to chase the other severum around the tank. It chases it and attempts to bite the other severum (Chunks of fin have not been taken out of the severum being harassed). Now the severum getting punked usually just hides around the filter and is hesitant to swim freely around the tank because whenever he comes out he usually gets punked by the other severum. I believe that this has even stunted the other severums growth and has made put him under constant stress (he still eats a lot of food though).
I was wondering if you guys could give me any tips or tricks that could help me "restore order" in my tank and settle the severums down? I really like both the fish and don't want to have to return or send back either of them.
Thanks guys!
