And five minutes after....

adding a new Female the pair is swimming together everywhere. Took six months, but I finally found a female.

 

[Chromis]

Yea! Do you think she’ll pickup the local cuisine faster by watching him?

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

That's my hope. He still prefers TDO pellets to anything else and I'm hoping she'll figure it out as well.

 

[tankguy]

That’s awesome

Of course now the males chasing the female everywhere. Men suck.

Put a mirror up against the glass in an area he swims through a lot.

Let him take out his aggression on another male for a while and he might accept her.

I use this a lot with aggressive fish, especially when introducing new fish to a tank. You can also use this technique to catch aggressive fish.

I do this with Tangs, etc all the time. As of now it's just basic chasing so I'm just keeping an eye on it. They will swim side-by-side for a while and then he chases her for a bit. Just working things out.

[Reefatosis]

My vote for tank centerpiece if it works out!

 

[juanfdezdc]

Those fish a one of the most beautiful ones imo. If they were not so picky eaters...

 

[MolaMola]

What a beautiful and unusual pair! What is that type of wrasse?

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

The one in the background is a Melanarius.

 

[MolaMola]

Oops - I meant the orange spotted filefish. Those are nice! I do not know fish and thought they were wrasses. That's what happens when I do not stay active on the forum!

 

[Wlachnit]

Definitely stunning. I’ve been tempted in the past. Love the first pic!

I bet Gus is jealous...

Only of their food.

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

Update ... they spent the second day on opposite ends of the tank, but by the third day they seemed to be paired up and swim side-by-side 90% of the time. On the fourth day she began to eat!

Tdo ?
