sixline bullying new clown

[pipplestock]

I should have known after getting a sixline wrasse, he'd end up being aggressive to new tankmates. I just brought home a clownfish and the sixline wont leave it alone. my question is, will the wrasse eventually leave my new clownfish alone? clownfish is a tad bigger than the wrasse. any advice? i dont want to get rid of either of them. thanks.

You can try floating the clown in a Kritter keeper container drilled with holes for circulation. This may help the sixline adjust to the presence of the newcomer. I added my sixline wrasse last to my tank in order to minimize/eliminate any risk of aggressiveness toward my other fish.

followed your advice and after only two days, the fin wars stopped. Thank you!!
