Hi, I got a male lyretail from LA about 3" and 3 females about 2" (along with 7 evansi anthias) about 1.5 months ago. The male tends to chase the female lyretails so much that they stay behind the rocks a lot (occassionally chases the evansi but they stick together).

Will this behavior likely change with time? Is it worth trapping/removing and looking for a smaller male more inline with the female's size? Suggestions?

(no nipping, just chasing)

Thx!
