Hi!
Just added some new fish to my tank and am worried about my hippo tang's (~5") aggression to my new Niger Trigger (~1.5"). Have had no issues with aggression before. The hippo has been chasing the trigger non-stop and seems to be picking at it. The trigger looks super anxious and I just feel bad for it. Not sure if I should just let things calm down on their own or what to do otherwise.
When I'm standing at the tank, I move and scare the hippo away but I obviously can't just be standing there non-stop.
Tank is ~200 gallon system with:
1 blue-green chromis
1 threadfin cardinalfish
2 yellow corris wrasse
1 desjaridini tang
1 hippo tang
4 clowns
ADDED TODAY (all small, >2") - 1 yellow watchman gobi, 1 white freckled tang and 1 niger trigger
