So I added a new wrasse about a week ago....my black clown has never bothered any of my fish, but he has relentlessly gone after my wrasse.  I thought I would give it a few days and see if it subsides.  Well, it didn't, so I caught the wrasse and put him in a small acclimation box I made.  Now for the questions:

1.  How long should I leave the fish in the acclimation box?
2.  For those that use them, do you find the fish will eat just fine even though they are confined to a relatively small space?
3.  Lastly, do you think this will solve the problem?  Or will I need to pull the clown and donate it?

Thanks

If there is room enough for a rock and some Macro, the Wrasse will do much better. Fish training works. Embarrassed Sorry but there is nowhere but my thread where you can read about it. The WMAS is on the leading edge of yet another technique. Big smile

I ran into the same problem about a month ago. I added a wrasse and my maroon clown thought she was boss. So I let them go at it a couple of days and then one day the wrasse turned on the clown. No problems since then!
