    Hi Guys,

    I was wondering if it is normal for a six line wrasse to attack its reflection in the glass. Mine has been spending a lot of time at the glass lately. Thanks!!!!

    Regards,

    i believe that they are aggressive towards anything that looks like them so prob yes since he will be seeing himself in the glass

    Thanks for the help guys. I think he is attacking his reflection because he like to swim up to the glass and puff himself up. Glad it isn't something out of the ordinary.
