My pair of Melanurus wrasse has been together for just about a week, while she's been in the tank for a year. Since she's much bigger she dominates him. She's matured and fat while he's prob a sub-adult.
Last night she took it to the extreme. She kept "harrassing" him for hours, even bit him a few times. However, when he got close to a rock with her then she wouldn't chase him anymore( he swam off every time though). It "appeared" to me that she's trying to mate, but he's not ready. Tonight she's back to normal. Do these fish mate in capacity? Lay eggs?
