Leopard wrasse aggression

Is that a question? Is your Wrasse aggressive towards other fish or other fish towards it? How well has it been eating, and does it have a sand bed to burrow in?

Any tricks on getting this guy to accept the Black and Choati Leopard wrasse I just added? It seems to have a death wish on them. I don't really want to remove the Ornate but if I have to I will.

Sorry. I'm testing out the new app and it's a little confusing.

Eeeek, ensuring fish are fed well is usually the only remedy. Some will use introductory containers that sit in the water for a period so the fish can interact without being able to make contact. Otherwise some fish are just a**holes.

Do you have sand? This would allow them to bury themselves to get away from the aggression. Maybe that would help until it subsides.

I have a DSB in the tank. The Choati has been hiding for 2 weeks. The Black has been out but the aggression is not stopping. It finally had enough and is hiding now. I'm thinking about putting the Ornate in a acclimating box for a few day to give the othe two a chance to settle in. I'm worried that once they are comfortable and I release the Ornate it will go back to being an butt.

Putting the Ornate in a timeout and re-introducing him could help. GL!
