New fish being picked on.
I have a 46g bowfront. I've got a 6 line wrasse, fire fish, anthias, and a 3 stripe damsel. They all get along very well and are very well behaved. Yesterday We purchased a strawberry dottyback, and a canary blenny. Now the wrasse and damsel are picking on the 2 new fish. Darting and nipping at them. Is this going to be an ongoing problem? Or are they eventually going to leave them alone. I bought a floating breeder tank today as well to try and separate them. Do I separate the 2 new fish for a few days or stick the misbehaving fish in therefor a few days?

Thats probably part of the problem. The 6 line is established. I have the same problem introducing new fish. If my 6 line doesnt like it, it either gets removed or dies.

Stick a mirror on the outside of your tank.. The 6 line will battle with himself and forget the new fish.

Sounds like an established fish. You can try removing the bully and putting in sump for over a month. Then add new fish in main and do a whole new aquascape. Later add old bully from sump. This has worked most times for me with Angelfish. If the bullying continues, you gotta make a desicion. Who do you like more? Who has to go?
