My friend has 3 red serpaes in his 38 gallon, and just put in 3 Marigold plateys in just today. Of course the marigold went to the bottem right away, then started to move a little. It seems the Red serpaes will swarm around them and continue to nip at them over and over. It's like they don't let up?

Are they going to continue to attack and if so what should he do?
