Weeksii agression?

[TheFishWrestler]

I recently picked up a 9" weeksii, and he absolutely hates my ornate who is about 1-2" smaller. He chases him around and nips and him and has bit his face at least twice. He doesn't bother my retro or endli who are about the same size as the ornate. Is this normal for these guys, or did I just get a bad apple??

With all poly's, it's on an individual basis. In my case, my female ornate is cranky and has pwned my small weeksii and the male ornate.

my weeksii ate my 6" bristlenose pleco before

but then again, individual basis

I'd have to concur with individual basis. My lapradei hates my ornate, but leaves the 2 senegals alone....

one bad apple.
all my polys are non aggressive,however my endli is very predatory and loves loves live much more than the other polys.

Thanks guys. Thats what I figured. I think I will leave them seperated for a while until I decide what to do with him.

It's not an aggression issue at all. You Weeksii is trying to eat your Ornate!
And he may......if you don't do something soon.
