Oregonic Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Picked up a leopard wrasse from cuttlefish and coral this weekend and my dottyback does not seem to like him. The wrasse has been waking up and he just heads towards the top of the tank and hangs out on top of my gyre. There is some algae growing on the magnet and he seem to be picking at pods up there. Everytime he gets more then about halfway down the dottyback darts at him then darts back to his cave, doesnt seem to actually be attacking him more like a warning this is my tank. The dottyback has been a model citizen and seems to care less about the other fish. The wrasse is pretty small right now. He is eating reef frenzy and picking at the pods on glass and gyre and seems happy haning near the gyre. Should i be concerned? Only had the wrasse for 3 days, what are the odds of the dottyback accepting him as a tank mate? Will he hold his own as he grows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas503 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You can put a small mirror on the side of the tank and leave it there couple of days. Should get dotty off his back ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonas503 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I just tape mine to the side of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregonic Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Mirror is working amazingly. The wrasse is barley getting chased, dottyback has mellowed. Added bonus the clownfish have been swimming in front of the mirror non stop they are super interested in the additional clownfish they are seeing ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
