I got these two three weeks ago. they have been inseparable but now one is bulling the other. he wont even let him out of a corner. does anybody know why this might be happening.

that's a picture from about a week and half ago.

That happens quite often. There is always a dominant fish in a school and when u have 2, the more dominant one will harass the other one till it dies unless u do something. I would recommend putting in some dither fish like silver dollars etc to spread the aggression. Thats why its better to get like 4 so u can spread the aggression
