As long as a fish eats am I okay?

[dnguyen1]

Hey guys I got a possum wrasse the other day and he's pretty young like definitely a juvenile ... he hangs out in the back corner of my tank doesn't swim much but when food comes does eat.

I wish he'd move to another area of the tank but am just wondering will this just take time ? Or is this not a good sign? He doesn't care for flakes but goes after mysis thanks!

If he's eating that's a good sign. Give him time to adjust to his surroundings. Also, make sure you don't have another fish bullying him.

I have a possum, maybe .75 inches. He eats flakes and mysis. I added him when the tank just had a coral beauty in it. Now I have added a pair of skunk clowns. It took him months to get adjusted. They will hide for a long time until comfortable. Like the above said, peaceful tank mates are needed, mine dont even look at him, so he swims pretty freely between rock structures.

Awesome yeah my tank mates leave him alone ... my guy is about 0.75 inches as well... I get concerned because he's right by my wave maker I turned down the flow so it's not as turbulent

Relax, typical wrasse behavior.
