This weekend I bought two Canary Wrasses. I didn't think that I had any fish in my tank that would bother them, but my Sixline Wrasse decided to be a bully.

When I put both of them in the tank after acclimating them everything seemed to be fine. They swam around for about five minutes then went under the sand. After about an hour they emerged from the sand only to get jumped by my Sixline Wrasse. The smaller of the two Canary Wrasses took quite the beating but I'm optimistic that it will survive. The damage that the Sixline Wrasse caused seems to be only localized to dorsal fin and a gill plate.

The Canary Wrasses have been hiding in the sand since I got them on Friday. They left the sand for a little while today and ate a bit, even the beat up one.

Will the Sixline Wrasse eventually accept the Canary Wrasses as tank mates or if they will most likely die?
