Wrasse ID

I know, was soo bummed. He was eating like a hog, swam fine was active. I dont think it was its health. I guess no more wrasses for me. My current one is to dominate to add any more.

 

Unfortunate you had to find out that way

 

Just curious, did you keep him in an acclimation box inside the tank for a day or two to give the existing wrasse time to get used to the new one? This seems to be the recommended method of adding a new wrasse when there are others already in the tank.

 

Damn, no I fed the tank to keep everyone occupied. Then had lights out. The wrasse was flashing, bright colors, all fins raised, and darted through the tank like I never saw. I should have did the box, so mad at myself now.

 

A very costly learning lesson. I will be sure to do this with all fish going forward. How long do you usually keep them in the box? Until the established one stops "flashing".

 

Sorry to hear Mike
