Baby Bichirs

[Shlurpy]

Hi guys,
A couple of days ago I bought two Senegal bichirs, they’re about 2.5 inches in length and I currently have them in a 10 gallon quarantine/grow out tank. One of the bichirs is pretty aggressive and will chase and nip at the other. The only time he leaves the other alone is when they’re eating. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to reduce the aggression? Or just any tips on general for keeping bichirs.

Give a little time and hopefully things smooth out. I've been keeping Senegal Bichir for years and had seen the nipping but after a few days things got better.
