How big is yr tank bro? EBH are known to be skittish by nature? I have 2 pcs staying in my tank of 5x2.5x2.5 with other large predator fish but never see them banging the glass before..

How big is your tank?

Yup i have 2pcs in a 422 and just the occasional chasing. Nothing serious.
Do you notice any serious wounds? if not, then leave them be and feed them well i feel..
Or adding a wave maker might help

My ebh can gang up and bully my myleus green. Pity i see the green hook now become short while the ebh one long.

They are housed in a 3ft tank but i seperate them from e rest cause e rest quite intimidating towards them, cause the smallest one ever piss my ntt off and ended up in his mouth, had to 'dig' out the poor fella, lucky hes perfectly alright after that incident. i give them 1/3 of e tank.

if the chasing persist, maybe will try your idea.
No wounds at all, but scared one day back from work then see serious wound only. better be safe than sorry.

Mine also chase each other. Think quite normal when young. But banging the walls kind of sian. I added some plants as a hiding place for them.

I think so too but no choice bro, no other tank haha. But they're so tiny still. Pump them abit more when they're bigger will let them join e rest so in e meanwhile hope they will be fine. Hope within a month they can grow an inch.
