Naoko wrasse hiding after introduction?

[najer]

I am not panicking as it only went in yesterday but the introduction didn't go well, my long nose hawk took a massive dislike to it as soon as it went in and chased it until the wrasse shot into the scape.
I know sand sleepers can go days or weeks without being seen, can a rock dweller do the same?
Thanks.

Naoko Fairy is a bold fairy wrasse. He will be OK.
Did you QT him and get him use to eating in captivity? I had 2 and did not have any problem with either one.

I got two because the first on jumped and died on top of the screen. I was in a hurry that morning and did not pay much attention when I open the top to add food and nori into the tank. I found dried up on to of the screen that afternoon.

I don't QT for disease, but separate the fish from other to get him healthy and use to captivity and eating tank food well before release him to my large DT.
IMO, where you are is not a reason for you QT or not QT your fish.

Mine was very simular to yours for a few months, then be came a ruler and cost me a few fish. He end up finding a new home, since I only have an IM40. Will get another when I get my next tank.

Hold up,
because your in engalnd you don't QT? what the heck guy? Who cares where you are located, it's either you QT or be prepared one day to lose everything!!!!

That fish should have went through a bucket of safety stop 1 and 2, minimum before ever ever entering your tank. Even a fresh water dip would have been something.

bro use ya head. It cost 20$ to set up a small 10gal with a 20gal HOB.
QT for about 2 months minium. Corals you should QT for at least 4 months.
Gotta get on that or you will have problems.
Your past the point of *if* and are now stuck with the dark cloud of *when*

So good luck and I hope you go out and get a QT tank

The laugh is not mean't to be rude but the supply chain is very different over here plus I trust my lfs.
I don't like to stress my fish, once it is bagged at my lfs it ends up swimming out of the bag in my tank after acclimation.
The last time my lfs medicated their fish system was a couple of years ago, a fish returned from a customer set off white spot.
I help out at my lfs when I can.
Not touching wood but I have never had a fish disease and I know I can feed new fish properly, the less time at the lfs the better.
My system is designed to allow fish to graze and hunt all day as they should, I do not do this lightly.

You didn’t deserve a reply like that.

Our supply chain over here in the US is a mess.

Your lucky to be where you are and certainly lucky to have a LFS like you do.
