The Executioner

Hi, one of my goldfishes keep following the other one. I heard that the male always follow the female, but the "stalker" one always sniffing the "victim's" butt. So, what is going on? I just hope he is not agressive, because they are all still about 3-4 months old. The "stalker" hasn't even grown a wen yet, but the "victim" have, so I am guessing the stalker is younger than the victim. I have 4 orandas in a 55 gl btw. The temperature and water is fine because the other 2 fishes are allright and seems happy with the huge extra space. Please let me know!

...And I just checked, but they dont have any ich or diseases, because their skin is nice and bright. I remebered though, 2 days before yesterday (when this is started happening) the "stalker" keeps swimming side to side on my aquarium glass....

That one may just be a follower. I have a butterfly koi and a goldfish in a tank, and the goldfish treats the butterfly koi like its captain, always following it around, giving it first dibs on food, etc...
