I currently have a 30G tank, the inhabitants are a pair of perculas, and a longnose hawkfish.... I just added two leopard wrasses as my final addition, and my longnose isnt happy... he charges the wrasses anytime they get close and flairs his mane up.... anything I can do? Let it work itself out? Or take them back?
 
it sounds like a little much for a 30g. if ur filter will possibly handle more try to split them up.
 
You need a larger tank for all that, and.......more hiding places.
 
Tons of hiding places, and i have eco complete system.... a TON of live rock, live sand a refugium.... a bunch of bio-balls and bio-bale, some purigen filter media and a large cleanup crew. Im not worried about spikes, I am however taking into consideration the max size of the fish. Im going to convert my 90G fresh into a marine tank ASAP and will transfer fish that get to large for my 30G... they have completely stopped fighting as of now, everything is good so far :)
