Hi, didn't know where I should post this question, but as I'm new to fish keeping I thought this was the best section in the forum. As my first fish I've introduced 4 odessa barbs to my tank, as advised because they are a hardy, friendly species. However, I am finding one to be bullying the other three. He chases after them and they are cowering away hiding in/behind ornaments and plants. Whenever they come out, he's there bullying instantly. The bullied three are looking pale, whereas the bully is very bright. I only got them today and was wondering if this will settle down, or am I going to have to do something about it? Have I got too few maybe? My tank is 48 litres. I have arranged plants into a corner to give the bullied ones somewhere to hide and get a break. They also have a barrell ornament they can hide in. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.
