Just curious on how long you guys think this practice should take place for… i have a yellow tang who’s a bully but things have seemed to ease alot now that the mirror is in place

I forgot to add about how I have read about it being a 2-3 day time period before aggression is minimal.I have never used a mirror as I have a very layed back species of tang (Ctenochaetus binotatus) that has none of that aggressive behaviour tangs are known for.
I don't think it works with wrasses like it does with tangs.Currently have a leopard wrasse that chases another leopard. I have left my mirror up for a few hours at a time, nearly every day for a couple weeks. I won't leave it up much longer then a couple hours as all my fish get very agitated, and jumpy.
Does the trick as all my fish want to fight their reflection. My blue eyed kole turns a vibrant orange with black stripes, instead of the dark purple they normally are. It's certainly a color I would probably would have never seen otherwise.
My Powder Brown was bullying my Yellow. I put the mirror up and it took about 3 weeks. Interesting part was both the Yellow and the Powder went after the mirror and forgot about each other. Gave them a common enemy I guess.Just curious on how long you guys think this practice should take place for… i have a yellow tang who’s a bully but things have seemed to ease alot now that the mirror is in place
I had a male potters wrasse and a large female ( actually 3 ) meleagris that just never got along. The meleagris was starting to go male and it seemed everybody was fair game. They can get cranky.More like a different species type thing. Sorry didn't explain in my original post. And for just chasing, not any actual aggression.
One is a melagris leopard, the other a moyers leopard. By all means they should get along, my PITA melagris just like to chase the moyers. I only did it for a while to let the moyers get used to the tank. One the moyers got used to the tank, the chasing subsided.
