I purchased a young flasher wrasse on Saturday of last week and after acclimating, he immediately went into hiding mode.
He hid for about 2 days and on Monday, i briefly seen him swim and eat frozen. Prior to feeding, there was no aggression from my leopard wrasse, diamond tail wrasse, yellow eyed kole tang, two spot tang, possum wrasse, royal gramma or the magnificus foxface. The only aggression in the tank is the two tangs chasing each other through the rocks here and then. I’m assuming this activity has him freaked out.
The LFS had him in copper for almost 60 days so he was as healthy as can be and I would visit often to check him out, he was very active and hungry.
Since Monday, I haven’t seen him and wondering how long could I expect this behavior?
Feeding.
I have 2 eheim auto feeders that goes off 6 times a day, feeding the small sinking pellets.
I also feed frozen every other day and still haven’t seen him and at lights out (am & pm), I try to look through the tank to see where everyone’s sleeping.
My tank has a cover with no possible way of getting out (I’ve already double checked).
I guess I’m a little anxious as this is one of my favorite wrasses and I finally got a hold of one.
