    okay so i have a 6line wrasse in my tank so i decided i wanted another wrasse so i went with a longfin fairy wrasse. i added him 2 days ago and they are fighting. i think it might just be cause he is new and a little stressed. i have them in a 30 gallon and all my parameters are just fine.

    Ya unfortunately the six line will bully the Fairy Wrasse until dead. In a larger tank they might get alone in time but 30G might just be too small

    suprisingly its not the 6 line its the fairy that is the bully. im gonna wait it out a little bit like a week or so then if it doesnt stop i will take the fairy wrasse back. but it sucks cause he is so beautiful!

    That's weird, I had a sixline and a flasher wrasse together in my 55, I guess it just depends on the temperment of the fish.

    WOW I'm surprised that the new Fairy Wrasse is the Aggressor. I would keep an eye on it but you might be OK. The Fairy might settle down
