Hypancistrus attacking bristlenose?

[Stelee]

Hi everyone! Posting here because I just added an L333 King tiger pleco to my planted 75 gallon and he has begun to aggressively attack/suck on/chase my male golden albino BN. Any advice or should I separate.

Could just be establishing a pecking order or fighting for the same area. It should pass but you can add some other caves to see if that helps

In my opinion and experience of two of these types of interactions they usually result in death probably through stress. I would seperate the fish.
