I received a new fish yesterday (juvi wrasse) and my current lone resident (starcki damsel) began chasing him. I realize that after enjoying the tank for about 4 months the starcki has claimed the entire tank as his territory. So I moved the damsel to a breeder net to let the wrasse adjust. Almost immediately the wrasse began exploring and looked much calmer.
My question is how long should I keep the damsel in isolation? The tank is a standard 29 gallons and there are two rock piles on either side, so I’m hoping that the wrasse will pick one and the damsel can have the other.
