hummm what to do??


i have 2 black leopard wrasses , they just arnt going to get along. i have the one whos less dominant in my overflow box .....


heres the kicker i love this fish , not really wanting to rehome him


my options:


option number 1- re home him to someone else??


option2- put him in my bonsai untill a later time


option 3- let them stay together, no actual fighting is happening but the more dominant constanty follows and harrasses the other and stops him from hunting

none of the other tanks in the house are suited for a leopard wrasse.

both leopard wrasses are less than an inch in length and eating frozen/live

I vote option 2 as they're cool fish

Wow, >1" ? Lucky you

Edit: forgot you have glass substrate so that's a tough decision

Leopard wrasse's dive into the sand at night to sleep, so unless you can add a container of sand to your 25g cube I would re-home him to someone else.
