I have a male melanurus that i really enjoy in my tank and recently added a McCosker's. The Melanurus didn't pay any attention to the McCosker's while it was in the acclimation box, but as soon as I released it into the tank the Melanurus was on it. Torments the McCosker's into hiding. I taped a mirror to the tank and the Melanurus was keeping itself busy with his reflection and the McClosker's came out as was getting on just fine. All of the sudden the Melanurus got aggressive again and i would say is even more aggressive now. I managed to catch the Melanurus in my acclimation box and he is currently still in there.
I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Do i need to re-home one of the wrasses? Also, is there anything i can add to the acclimation box to make it a little more "comfortable" for the Melanurus.
