4" tem. is starting to pick on other tem.

[ado124]

I got two 4" tems. from rapps a few days ago and one has started to show some aggression toward the other. There is visible fin damage and I'm not sure if I should be concerned yet. What do you guys think? Should I add more drift wood? Right now there's just one piece of drift wood in the tank shared by 4 datnoids and the two tems.

Should I be worried?

Thanks guys.

i kind of have the same deal. 2 tems and a pinima, 1 tem picks on both the other fish but i dont see any damage yet.

add some plants fake or real for cover and you can also add some dither fish to spread agression i.e silver dollars etc..

it'll probably be fine, but could not be. do as the others said and put stuff in for them to hide from the others and break up line-of-sight. target fish will help, too or add more bass

I wanted to! but Rapps ran out of mono's I'm making this a two step process. added the plants last night, hopefully no new fin damage when i go home.
