Ornate Leopard Wrasse harassing other leopards to death.

Both my wrasses spits out any kind of mysis. I suspect it's the size, but I'm not certain.

Including PE mysis?

my male Ornate is my most aggressive Leopard and although it eats everything it picks out the PE mysis in the "chum" I feed.

Sadly PE mysis doesn't ship to where I live. The wrasses has started to eagerly eat chopped mussels and shrimp on the other hand.

Do your local stores not have hikari mini mysis?

Part of your problem is you have a very small tank which is marginal at best for one.. Remove one.

How large a tank is needed? I have two bipartius and one ornata (at least it was sold as ornata....it looks like a meleagris to me) in quarantine. I intended to put them in a 150 gallon tank.They are small now. In the 1 1/2 to 2 inch range. Will this be a problem? snorvich, evolved or anyone else with experience.

A 150 is plenty big enough ^
