I am begiing to think my rears are coming true 10 months ago I bought 2 leopard bush fish one was a bit bigger than the other.I had them for 10 months in a 55 lt tank with no problems .The smaller one has out grown the one that was bigger by quite a bit .Last week I re housed them into a 250 lt 4 foot tank loads of caves made from bog wood fresh plants so not heavly planted .Today I noticed the bigger one following the other one around the tank and when close enough will barge the smaller one.Should I be concerned.

The bigger one is just displaying it's dominance with the smaller Bushfish. Is the new aquarium 250 litres or 250 US gallons?
If you notice any tattered fins on the smaller one I personally would remove and rehome.
yes at the moment the smaller looks ok the bigger one just seems to be pushing the smaller one out of the way. I have seen this behaviour before I had a large one in my other tank and he used to swim up under my senegal and push him up amd almost out of the water . I knew the senegal was getting stressed so I sold the bush fish. I did have a jack dempsey in there as well and the bush fish used to pick on the jd until the jd got to a certain size and the tables turned. I think they are a bit of a school boy bully act tough but if they come across a real hard case they can get a good beating. I makes keeping them intresting as they are a facinating fish.
