2 New Fish

[noclueman]

Hello, I know this is pretty typical but I just had one question.

I have a 55 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. I just upgraded sizes and I figured I'd keep the 10 gallon set up as a quarentine tank.

So right now the 55gallon has 1 gourami, 1 angel, 1 rainbow shark and some other smaller stuff.

Today I bought a new guinea rainbow and another gourami.

The first gourami hasn't stopped chasing them for about an hour (that's how long they've been in there) and it is nonstop. He often catches up to them and takes a nip at them. I guess it's normal and will probably stop in a few days, but I'm just wondering if I could just put the origional gourami in the 10gallon tank for a while to solve the problem. If he's moved to the small tank for a few hours then I move him back do you think he will still chase them?

thanks

No ideas?

What type of gourami is it? Which fish is the gourami chasing? If it's chasing the other gourami, it might be because of breeding (if female) or territorial aggression (if male).

my angel chased my platy`s for about 2 weeks but after that they became ok so you gourami may gust be curius untill the new fish finds a place in the tank i would say nothing to worry about
