female aggression
I've introduced two females into the same tank, both are young adults, (one weighs 50g, the other 40g) and the bigger one is acting aggressive towards the smaller one. She will come out of her hide , go to the smaller one's hide, and start to bite the base of her tail(pretty hard). The smaller one responds by biting the others head/neck, then the big one goes back to her hide, and repeats the process 5-10 min later. I assume she's asserting her dominance ,but I just want to know if you guys think this will go on for awhile, or it's something that they will work out soon. I don't want the little girl to lose her tail, is that a likely possibility? Thanks for any response
