Hi all,
My partners parents are away and I was watching the fish and this behavior stayed the same before and after feeding for a good 30min it did change on the number of fish fallowing the one but it’s like their nipping at it….. I think it's being bullied but am unsure as I've only kept single fish….
Any advice would be nice bc I'm worried about it but hev for all I know it could iust be mating behavior 😅

Mine have done that too. I added more plants to break up the line of sight and they seem to leave each other alone.
Its definitely getting bullied but it doesn’t need immediate action. If these fish are new they may just need to fight until a proper pecking order is established between them. Its not mating behavior as I believe those are all males. Just watch them, see if it continues and let the owners know when they return.
Are there any female endlers in the tank? They may just be targeting that male because they think it’s a female.
My partner’s fish did this one by one until there was enough space per fish in the tank
