I have bought a cave for him to hide in and I am thinking heavily planted 50/50 mix of real and fake

It'll probably get bullied to death, so best if you can either give it to someone or try and separate them, had this before with my Silver Sharks the bigger of the 2 stopped the other from eating all the time and stressing him out chasing him about the tank.

I am afraid of that, added plants and the cave now there are plenty of places to hide and they both seem much calmer and can both eat but still go mad .
