Sounds a lot like marriage.....basically made to hide in a cave for about 4-5 months. He only came out to eat.
Interesting story. My fish are very weird. I have a Biocube 32 and I have a Midas Blenny and a Royal Gramma in there as of now. Let's just say they don't like each other. I think it's because there's not enough perching room in the tank. I see chasing almost everyday and the occasional fin nip on the gramma every few weeks/month. For most of the day, they mind their own business but there's a hierarchy as well. For instance, the royal gramma won't get in the Midas' way when he's swimming or eating. I'm considering replacing them both. I think deep down it is the grammas fault but he always comes off innocent. I returned two clowns because it came across like the gramma was getting bullied but I believe deep down it's something to do with the gramma.There is defiantly a hierarchy, especially amongst my tangs and angels. My Purple tang was bullied by the Scopas tang and basically made to hide in a cave for about 4-5 months. He only came out to eat. One day the tables turn and the Purple tang became the aggressor making the Scopas hide for several weeks. Now they seem to get along but there is defiantly a hierarchy.
Define fight.
Like do they aggressively attack each other and hurt the other fish? Or more like simple pushing them away showing dominance but not really escalating?

Man, mine get so mad at each other when they steal a piece from anotherI dont call it fighting especially with do damage inflicted but having 13 tangs in my tang, the little circular argument over food does occur
Thanks for this. I’m unsure if you read about my story above but I’m having issues with my Midas blenny being a jerk to my royal gramma. I’ll be adding a clown soon and then a wrasse later on so hopefully this may helpmy midas blenny became a bully to my court jester goby a few weeks after i added it. then i added a yellow coris wrasse and the aggression stopped. the blenny occasionally darts towards to goby and even the wrasse but does not nip at fins like he used to.
i have not read your posts on this, but i hope adding new fish curbs the aggression for you. good luck!Thanks for this.
