Help Bicolor pseudo bully

[wolff809]

Like the title says I have a pseudo who is picking on my 4 line wrasses! My 4 line just hides in the corner the whole day:(. Does any one have some tips on how to make them get along or will I have to sell/trade the pseudo? The pseudo has been in the tank for about 3 weeks and I added the 4 line this past Friday if that helps at all.

I am sorry. That must be very stressful for the poor wrasse and probably for you as well.
Sounds like the Pseudo is considering the tank his territory.
I'd probably decide who should stay since both together don't seem to be able to happily coexist. :(

Several people can loan out fish traps here if you need help in removing one of them

I would remove the pseudo as it will likely stress out other inhabitants that you may acquire down the road. As we say when we tilt-a-whirl pee out of our tubes on the river "Out with the bad in with the good"... Vise versa in your scenario.

I have a Pseudo and a sixline wrasse and they're fine.

how big is your tank?
how much rock?

The tank is a 30 gallon cube and there's about 25-30 pounds of lR. I have heard that the 4 lines are much less aggressive then the 6 lines that could be why.
