Leopard wrasse

[[V]tEc]

the leopard wrasse is bought 1 wk ago.

wat tang is that ? and how big is ur wrasse and tang ?

if it really keep pestering ur leopard and causing it to hide and not feeding.

it will be better for u to take it out and feed it for some time before adding it in.

Hope the rest can take note, nv add in any non-feeding fish into ur main tank which is full

of fishes.

If they can learn to eat and survive, it's good.

But most of the cases is that they will perish and starve to death with stress from the tankmates.

Be it a tang or six-line, the effect will be the same if it's not feeding and at times can also caused it to stop feeding.

Proper acclimation is very important.

Cheers.

In a case where wrasse is quite difficult to catch, better to have yr tang "caged" up in a betta box in the main tank, or put the tang in yr sump tank first till yr leopard wrasse starts to feed and familiarise w the new environment.

Good move and happy to hear tt yr wrasse has started to come out to eat. Don't rush to put the tang back yet and let the wrasse get use to the environment longer and establish his little terrority.

Can't bear to part with current corals...so still a mini reef tank lo. Instead of tangs and angels, now i stick to tangs only. Sorry, a bit off topic here. l'll pm you bro.

fishes...no matter how shy they are...they need their own terrority...

if u put two nice gentle man together...with a piece of meat.

they will still fight over it.

that's why it's best not to add in new fishes at a huge quantity at one go.

instead u should acclimate properly and let the new addition get used to their new environment before u add in any other new fishes.

this way u wun be throwing money into the sea..

CHEERS.
