I have a pink Gouramis and a Silver Gouramis fish and the silver keeps biting the pink is this normal?

The pink is a little smaller than the silver and it just hides behind the filter intake. It also does not seem to be eating. I just got these fish and am worried about the pink one.

Gouramis, especially the larger species, can be quite aggressive towards their own kind. You should have at least a 55 gallon tank if you plan to keep those together long term, or the Pink Gourami will soon die from constant bullying and starvation. Your only choice is to upgrade or rehome one of them.
