Default rope fish

My tank had two rope fish, and I just introduced the second to the tank...Unfortunately the first one doesn't seem to like the second one. He chases and bites her. It doesn't seem like he's hurting her but he's not welcoming his guest as well as I thought he would. Everything I've read says these guys are peaceful toward each other. What should I do?

you could try adding a few more and make a group of 4

I've got a group of 6 that i have added to as i've gone and never been a problem.

How big's the tank?
