Wrasse aggression

[gareth.hubbarde]

Hi, I have an Adorned Wrasse and a yellow coris wrasse thst have lived in peace for months. Recently the yellow wrasse has been seldom seen, at one stage I thought it had died. It is however alive just hiding. I have noticed an injury on its side and whenever it does appear the adorned chases and harass it until it is forced to hide again. Do you think it's just because it's injured the adorned is being like this? Should I remove the aggressive fish?

Mother Nature-- one, the Adorned is probably a male & the coris could be starting to transition setting them on a collision course. One should go IMHO.

How much are you feeding and how often?

Wrasses with the same body shape, which your two are, will fight, sometimes to death, depending on tank size. You'll want to remove one.
