Is the male banana wrasse aggressive towards anyone?
No he gets along fine with the others including a large orange shoulder wrasse. The only aggression I see so far is from my powder blue toward my gold rim tang. The two powder blue keep him pinned to the upper left corner of the tank

Dang great job! Did you have to do anything special to not have much aggression with the achilles?

Nope I threw them all in pretty much the same time. I got lucky I guess. I observed more aggression between my powder blues. I started with 8 now I only have 3 :( but most of the ones that died are from some diseases. The Achilles seem pretty mellow. They do chase each other for a few brief seconds but other than that they're just cruising around

I treat them with Cupramine and praprizo in the display. Don't have a QT system big enough to hold them all

Just added this monster size hybrid Achilles to my FOWLER. Hopefully he get along with the rest. So far only some mild aggression with my sohal tang and my large Achilles. They're both around 8 inches!

My almost foot long golden puffer. This guy has a powerful bite with his big two sharp front teeth! How do I know ? Lol he once bit off the wooden chopsticks I used to hold the shrimp to feed him.... Now I just feed him hard frozen shrimp straight from the freezer and his teeth still slide thru t like butter:)

My clown trigger has also gotten so big. He was about 2.5 inches when I got him back in March this year. He's probably a good 5.inches now

Great looking fish! Does the clown trigger play nice with everyone? Definitely my dream fish!

So it's been more than 3 weeks and the aggression between my Achille and Achille hybrid has gone down quite a bit. In the first week the Achille was basically trying to pin the hybrid in the corner and not let him move or eat. So I removed the Achille and put him in a "time out" holding tank for a week then re-introduced him. That seems to reduce his aggression. Now going on one week after re-introduction he seems to tolerate the hybrid more. They do their tail flashing occasionally but nothing bad. Hopefully it will continue to get better:)
