315 gallon tank. Have had a yellow and purple together for literally 5-6 years, they started together in a 125 gallon. Whenever I do not feed nori daily, the purple is an absolute jerk and chases the yellow and just beats the crap out of it. Purple leaves the fox face, white tailed bristle tooth, and naso alone.
So, if I re-home the purple, is there potential for the yellow to become king jerk? I have a sailfin desjardini (same genus) in qt/observation for the next 30 days, but don't want to add it in if it will just get terrorized. It is smaller than the yellow and the purple. Thanks in advance.
