Compatibility question...

[Lofr]

Guess I should have asked this BEFORE..... have Bicolor pseudochromis. According to the compatibility charts, they are totally compatibile. Today I introduced a new blue hippo tang and the Bicolor pseudochromis and it is picking on the blue tang. Is this a problem I should deal with (i.e. remove the Bicolor pseudochromis) or is this something that will work itself out? Thanks!

Bicolors can be very territorial. Do you have some egg crate to separate them, or acclimation box?

It should work itself out. Both fish are planktivores, and bicolor anthias can be assertive toward other planktivores, but that should limit itself just to feeding times, and should be just a quick pass, not relentless chasing.

A mirror on one end of the tank should distract him.

Thanks for the responses. He's already stopped picking on the blue tang.
