The first couple days is normal in a new tank. I have had leopards and anampses that are more mature at collection do that beyond the first few days.You guys ever have a wrasse that just paces the glass all the time? I have one in QT that just won't stop and I'm worried.
Hi! I saw you mentioned China Wrasse.....I had one for years....after I lost him....I have tried twice to get a China Wrasse to make it....both times they paced the glass for days, they ate good though....then suddenly died...like fine one day and gone the next, other than the pacing. I gave up, and probably won't try to replace the one I lost. Hopefully yours will be fine though. Might be just acclimating still. Is he eating and everything?This is a 2-3" China wrasse (Anampses) and its only been a few days but I've also had my Earmuff wrasse circle around a powerhead a lot in my display.
He is eating, although he seems to chew the food a bit and then spit it back out in smaller pieces I believe he is at least consuming some of it. He also picks at the rocks often, and appears plump, not skinny at all. I added a light to the qt tank yesterday and after that he seemed to improve and did less pacing, maybe it was too dim previously.Hi!

That's good news! Yea it could have been a case of him chasing his own reflection! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! Keep us posted!

I noticed the same thing with my China wrasse, must be common to Anampses.So weird thing .. one of my red tail tamarin wrasses .. almost every time it goes to consume food I can hear an audible click.
Anyone else experience this?
There usually isn't too much of an issue between those 2. It should work itself out in a day or two.are there generally long term issues between h. biocellatus and an orchid dottyback? i just added the wrasse and the dottyback, who previously seemed overly timid if anything, has decided to become a dbag. the wrasse doesn't seem overly stressed about it, shes yet to go bury in sand, but i'm hoping they're just figuring things out

In most cases it will work itself out, but there are some instances wherr a melanurus can bully other wrasses. Keep a watchful eye to see if it subsides.My leopard wrasse is transitioning to male! I’m really excited but have noticed that his best buddy Hector our male melanarus doesn’t seem to happy about it, nothing super aggressive, just chasing him off. Potential issues?
