SWEETLIPS ISSUE

[Dreamkiller]

Hey guys,
So I currently have a stripped sweetlips in my DP. I've had her for about a month and she's been thriving. I love this species so much that I decided to but another one. So, I went and purchased a oriental sweetlips. Beautiful fish. Now... once I introduced the oriental to my DP the striped sweetlips attacked her ON SIGHT.... I mean it was bad.... I felt so bad I immediately put her in my QT. Now I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Use an acclimation box for a few days or so to see if that helps to get the older fish acquainted safely with the newer fish. If it's another immediate attack again, then returning the new fish may be your only option.

I don't experience directly with this fish type, though.

I see these on LA and always wondered who orders them, get pretty big.

Acclimation box and move the rocks around in DT when reintroduce.

Flip them. Place new one in tank and bully in qt tank for a time out (1-2 weeks)
