melanurus wrasse sex

Two males? I’m curious as well but it’s probably a territorial issue.

It's best to not mix two wrasses of the same species.

best to put a pair together within a bigger tank, 2 male adults will fight but once was pair, they all day stick together, no even jumps lol

Hi People
I recently purchased a Melanurus and after watching how peaceful a fish it was I thought it would be nice to add another oh boy he’s/she’s far from peaceful
He won’t let the other smaller less colourful spotless one out of the sand
I’ll try to take a picture when I get home
But the smaller one is still a juvenile
Any ideas why it would attack it every chance it gets?

Because once they make up their mind they will relentlessly pursue.
Mine killed a redhead solon fairy not long ago.
