My remaining Gourami is constantly stalked by my evil swordtail. The swordtail is much smaller but unfortunately much quicker.
The Gourami cannot get away from him. Swordy is forever nibbling at his side near his gills. There isn't any sort of mark that I can see.
I am concerned. Does the swordtail sense something I can't see? Or is he trying to stress the Gourami out on purpose?
The Gour. swims up to the top and just kind of bobs around near the filter. Swordy doesn't bother him near the filter.
Occasionally Swordy will do it for 10-15 mins. At that point I'll trap in the net and keep him there for an hour or so. Give the Gor sometime to rest.
Does anyone know why Swordy is picking on him like this??? What can I do to make it stop?
