Porcupine vs hippo

[brooklyn]

Has anyone ever heard of a hippo tang suddenly becoming aggressive toward a porcupine puffer?? These two fish have been housed together for over 2 years with no problems. Recently the hippo has started to nip at the puffers tail. The puffer gets annoyed and chases it in to the rocks. This happens over and over. The puffers tail is visibly frayed at the edge from being nipped. Anyone have any experience, advice? Thanks! BTW, it's a 95g fowlr.

Was the tang small when u got it? As tangs mature aggression tends to increase. This isn't always the case but a 95 is a bit small for a full grown hippo. So if it's maturing and feeling cramped that could b the issue
