I have 2 fancy gold fish in a 25 gallon tank , each fish is about 2 1/2 inches long 1 oranda and 1 ryukin , they are housed with 6 lepoard danios, 1 white cloud and 3 trap door snails , they have a variety of live and fake plants , the water conditions are good . they have been together for several months and with in the last couple of days the ryukin has started harrasing the oranda pushing the oranda around the tank and what looks like biting the orandas shoulder ( it has a few scales missing ) , so this morning I moved the ryukin into his own 5 gallon tank as a temporary measure.

not sure if the tank is too small for the 2 of them or if they are mating ?

maybe they are male and female cos they butt and push a lot when they are mating

you shouldn't keep the one white cloud on its own its a shoaling fish and should be 6 at least of them
 
The one white cloud was the only one left at the lfs he was in a tank with bigger fish. He is quite the happy little fellow in with the danios and schools with them all the time, I will get some more white clouds when I see them , they have not been available at any of the lfs I frequent.
