Problem with two fish

[iloveswfish]

I have a six line wrasse and a royal gramma basslets. I noticed that the six line chases him everywhere and the RG does not come out much. Can someone suggest a solution. I have even changed some of the rocks around.

That's a six line it will always do that probably should have went with a more peaceful wrasse like a flasher.

How big is your tank?

Not sure how big your tank is, but 6 lines can be relentless when it comes to picking on other fish, my suggestion make a bottle trap and get it out of there, get something more peaceful, chances are it'll pick on any newly introduced fish.

I have been in this hobby for 30 Plus yrs and imo the hardest thing is what fish with what fish but there are a lot of people here on r2r that have the experience with all of them so I would suggest that you ask here before you purchase it will save your experience in the hobby.

Thank you... I should of thought of that before I got the fish...

Six line wrasse are absolutely the worst behaved wrasse, perhaps the worst behaved common fish in the hobby. Just my .02

Will they eventually leave each other alone

My dottyback chases my six line eventually the get along.

quarantine one in an acclimation box and give them time to adjust without tearing each other up.....if that doesn't work you may have to bring 1 back. I loved our six-line, very active fish.
