As the title says, my small (2.5") female leopard wrasse that has been in my possession for over a year is being aggressive toward a new flame wrasse.
On Friday I bought a gorgeous female flame wrasse that was eating like a champ and seemed very outgoing. The female flame measures a little over 3". On Saturday she was eating everything that I put in the tank and was a bit adventurous. Well, the leopard decided that the flame as not a good addition and was showing threat displays and doing some chasing and I think nipped the flame's tail once.
Yesterday the flame became very reclusive and is not really interested in food anymore
Does anyone have any suggestions for coaxing these two to get along? Reaquascaping my tank is not an option, and I've already tried catching the leopard and putting her in my sump, but catching a small fish in a big tank is no easy task. Thanks for any help you can give!
