Hi all,
I recently introduced a nice Leopard Wrasse into my 8.5x1.5x1.5 mixed reef tank thinking it would be safe from other fish with the numerous hiding places.
I was quite wrong. The moment it was in the tank, it was immediately set upon by my 3 six-line wrasses. It was chased from end to end, found, chased again, beaten up till its fins were torn.... I've never seen such aggression.... Even when it lay panting, it was still beaten up. I thought it was a goner but saw tha it was still alive after 3 days - a miracle....
I went to buy another leopard wrasse today to try to dilute the aggression but the other one was also relentlessly chased around, dunno what got into these six-lines....
What should I do next? I can't catch any fish as all my rockwork are epoxied and crowded with corals.
Add some more leopard wrasse?? There are non left from where I bought them...
