Ah.. ok that's pretty normal then.
BUt you only have two?
Those are pretty aggressive fish that seem to do better in schools.. if there are just two, one will become dominant and beat on the other one a lot in my experience.

I have 3 now and the smallest is always getting picked on and has bit up fins.

I used to have 5 before a heat wave and that seemed to work better.

What other fish do you have? As I said, they are aggressive and you don't want to mix them with a lot of other fish out there.
