Hello, right now I have a firefish, 3 stripe damsel, yellow tail blue damsel, saphire blue damsel, a green chromis, and a six line wrasse. All are doing great but the wrasse.

I got my wrasse yesterday, and acclimated him using the drip method, when I put him in he went to the front corner and would stay put, he did not look ill, his fins were moving fast and he seemed interested in me. He would not move more than 2" from his spot. He went from the corner to a cave all night, then this morning went deeper in my rocks and has stayed in there and it is not eating. I have read that these fish can refuse food and not come out for a few days. I am sort of unsure of how to get him to eat, I have some brine shrimp growing. Would white/ghost shrimp work, the saltwater kind?

My fish plans are to eventually add a pair of Ocellaris clowns, then a Blue tang. And lastly I was thinking about adding a lemonpeel or a coral beauty.

Help is appreciated, thanks.

Give the Wrasse more time..he's new, needs to get used to things. Try some Mysis, all fish love the stuff!

A 90 will not house a Blue Tang for as long as you may want to keep it....it will be fine for awhile but they do grow to 1' and need at least a 6' tank..A Kole or Tommini [the latter a little difficult] would be a better fit..A Yellow would work but again may outgrow this tank..It does not get as large as the Hippo, but gets more aggressive..

I would probably go with the Coral Beauty, more hardy. Or an Argi which is even hardier:) You can actually find the Argi's in pairs which is cool [Inland Aquatics]

Good luck!
 
eventually the 6-lines will eat everything, they also eat a lot of pods. I wouldn't worry. It took 3 weeks before my Kole tang eat !!!

Regarding your tang question, I have both a Yellow and a Kole in my 90G. There are not a lot of tang that can fit in a 90. In my case, both are good friend and get along very well.

Thanks for the advice Kim. Are mysis usually fed alive or frozen?



Get frozen..:)
