I bought the last red tail botia the shop had. He is very territorial he chases my four lined pim around, even though he is 2'' smaller than him.
I was wondering if I got say 2-3 more red tail botia, would this cool him down a bit?

Always best in groups of 3 plus they are very aggressive for a loach. I have 3 and they are always fighting with Eachother but leave all other tank mates alone

I'd go for 5 or more.

Spread the aggression around, never had a problem with other fish though.
