I just recently added my Senegal and endli to my 135 that my ornate currently lives in since I’ve added them the ornate has been showing a lot of aggression toward the Senegal was just looking for some advice or was wondering if he’ll calm down eventually
Ornate aggression

Seems more often then not that's the case. Could calm down but they have a rep.
Ornate are know to be territorial, its going to be aggressive to the sen till it rips off its tail, i would seperate them.
Sometimes can wait it out and let the hierarchy settle. But if it doesn’t then will need to separate like

you can also rearrange the tank that can sometimes stop aggression
I’m a big believer in multiple polys introduced at the same time. This way they can grow up together. If you have one ornate(or any semi-aggressive fish) by itself for an extended period of time, she will probably think the tank is hers and become territorial towards new additions.
Would suggest adding more polys the same size or larger than the ornate. Worst case scenario: take the ornate out, let the group establish themselves, and then reintroduce ornate after a month.
