Hello,
I purchased 3 Bipartus wrasses about a month ago. 2 have been out since going into my tank. They have been fine till last night when I saw the larger bullying the smaller one. I did add another 3 days ago which I haven't seen yet as it was recommended to add 3 at a time. Not sure if I should take the aggressor out. Anyone offer any suggestions? TY
 
I wouldn't do anything. Just domination behavior. I had 1 male and 2 females. Male became too rambunctious (splashing water out of the tank 24/7) so I removed him. The larger female turned male, and now it chases the female. But it's what they do.
 
All females? Multiple males is usually a problem. Bullying can keep them in the sand to starvation. I actually would consider removing the bully.
