My Instagram page is Jacksreef2020 if you would like a view of my tank and why I’m concerned??? Idk ok so basically I bought a tank on Kijiji and it came with a 6-line wrasse I bought it with a 45 and upgraded to my now 65 gallon tank, I have 2 maroon clowns peaceful no aggression to the wrasse “the female can be at times” a mimic tang peaceful to everything but my goby and damsel, and those are the only things that could really match it because I know they’re “six lines are jerk fish” I also have a rainbow anemone but I don’t think that was the cause, oh and I added a leopard wrasse in and the wrasse saw eachother and were peaceful but the mimic tang chased him down into the sand so I moved the leopard wrasse into my other tank and I’ve had him in there for awhile now, could adding the wrasse into the aquarium be the problem, I was also thinking about hibernation for wrasse??? Sorry for the very long “thread” but I have to tell the whole story because I think he’s probably deeeeeeeaddddd and he’s. Not in my sump or he didn’t jump

Nice plug for instagram followers. :)

My 6-line went MIA for weeks at a time, I was sure it was dead, searched everywhere in and outside of the tank (I have a lid, but figured nothing is impossible) only for him to suddenly show up again to eat. They hide very well.
