Default Newbie with a question again

Hi again! I have a quick question about behavior.... I have two 2 (and
maybe a half) in ch Tiger Lutinos that we bought as a pair from the lps
about 2 weeks ago. They seem to be the best of friends for the most
part...swimming side by side etc...but then there are times when one
will rush the other or butt the others side. Is this a normal thing?
They don't fight over food and generally are happy together but every so
often there is a bite out of a fin or tail. They heal quickly though.
One is a bit bigger than the other as well but it doesn't seem to be the
bigger one just picking on the smaller one. They both have a hand at
bullying. Any thoughts? Could this be a male and female? (I hope
so!!!:clap: !) Thanks for reading!!! Belle

Pretty normal activities for there age. As for sexing, ect, pretty young
to tell yet. all pairs will act the way you described at that age. ie
two males, two females, or one of each. As for any damage, it should be
minor, and heal on its own. however, keep a warry eye out. Better to
catch something early, sometimes accidents happen, even to fish!
