I bought a mystery wrasse last week and my blue tang is picking on it really bad. Has anyone seen this? I thought it would be left alone since it's not a tang. It's in a 93 cube. The blue tang is small maybe 3" about the length of the wrasse. ------------- Call or Text (801)834-3119 |

Try catching the tang and putting it in an acclimation box of some sort. I would have thought it would be the other way around but if the tang was basically the only fish in there before he probably has territory issues. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

Yeah I think it's so strange being that he is peaceful with every other fish. I wonder if it's the color patterns? ------------- Call or Text (801)834-3119 |
