Fairy Wrasse

[Steve...]

I introduced a Fairy Wrasse to my tank about a month ago and I've seen the fish 4 times and the latest being tonight. Is this normal? When can I expect the fish to be out more often?

[Bblinks]

Usually after a while week or so they should start to come out more often. What kind of fairy wrasse is it?

[gregzz4]

Besides what kind of fairy is it, what other fish do you have ? And how big's your tank ?

My tank is 220 gal and I was told it was a tri colour Fairy Wrassse

Tricolor brings up both Lubbock's and Solar (Clown) in case that helps.

Thanks! Kinda sucks when the fish is always hiding

Look on live aquaria and see if you can see the type of wrasse on there

I for a bunch of tang and angels , clowns , leopard and airline wrasse .

If a wrasse I'd getting harassed than it will hide until the harassment stops. I think you will just have to patient and wait it out bud. You can also use food to entice it to come out and see who is the the culprit that's picking on it. I am sure as long as it's esting, you will just need to give it some time.
