    I just added on tiny one to my frag tank along w/ a bigger tomini tang that already has to sets on clowns(which are in temporary) so hopefully no problems down the road.

    IMOPE, when you have a bully, he'll just start bullying again once he's used to the new arrangement.

    i have made a space in my refuge, which can hold agressive fishes... i had the same issues with damsels, chromis (yes chromis too)..... wht i did was i shifted the agressive fish there for a month, then back to DT..... worked for me everytime.. saves time and deaths.. my chromis had killed my clown in a nano....

    Make a small fish trap out of a clear water bottle. Works everytime. If you do a search can probably find out how to make one.

    no, i dont like too many rocks in my tank anyways.... its jus that after 1 month the fishes in the DT will take over so any new agressive fish after a month break wont bother them... its jus fish psycology ;)

    I'm with others here, I wouldn't put the time and effort into reintroducing. I also agree that six lines are not all that attractive to be worth it to take a chance on it going rogue again. Just my .02. There are so many other beautiful wrasses out there....

    A little 4 am fishing excursion and bingo...got em!!! Actually took about 15 seconds this time!! He sleeps in a rock in the upper left corner of my tank. Rock is shaped like tree roots interconnected and he sleeps in the middle. Tried putting a net around the top of the rock the first time but he snuck out the bottom. This time just lifted the rock strait up and put the net underneath and by the time rock was out of the water fish was in the net....NO WAY am I going to try to re-aquascape and reintroduce....he has become more of a problem last few days and im 50/50 my small clown will recover...clown hasnt been eating last couple days tried mysis,brine, spirulina brine, and pellets..fins are torn which I know can grow back, but hes lost some color and breathing pretty rapidly....hoping he pulls through....not sure theres anything else I can do.
