New wrasse

[mraysberg]

Bought a new wrasse yesterday McCosker. Added it and the 6 line was chasing it. Afterwards it was hanging out around the bottom breathing heavy. 2nd day now and still hanging on sand bed breathing heavy. What should I do?

Take it out. I had a 6 line torment my dottyback to death :( saw the same behavior from dottyback as you are seeing. Or get rid of six line... they don’t make good tank mates in my experience.

And I could be wrong but I don’t think wrasse and wrasse share tanks very well. But 6 lines are especially evil.

6 lines are really aggressive. Put one or the other in an acclimation box.

How big is the tank and what are the other tankmates?
