I have had a leopard wrasse (Macropharyngodon meleagris) my 100g DT for a couple of months. She has been doing extremely well and has been very peaceful to the other fish. I liked her so much that I decided to try a blue star leopard (Macropharyngodon bipartitus). The LFS that I trust had 2 and suggested I get both as they seem to be a pair. After doing some research, it seemed like adding them shouldn't be a problem, so after putting them through QT (GC treatment, eating like pigs), I put them into the DT last night. I didn't use an acclimation box (regretting THAT now), but I did put them in pretty late so that the other tank inhabitants were winding down for the night.
The leopard wrasse lost her mind and basically pummeled the blue stars into submission. This morning, I trapped the leopard and put her into the QT. My question is should I wait until the blue stars are settled into the DT and reintroduce the leopard after her "time out", or should I just re-home the leopard?
