My mystery is the boss of all wrasses in my tank and I have a lot of wrasses. I think the mystery once established can be one of the most hardiest fish to take care of. Feed it well and it will never nip at your clams, but it can be nasty towards other wrasses specially if they are the same shape.

Love this fish.

Mine was beginning to be a bit of a bully as well, so I pulled him out of the 25 Gal QT, and threw into the 5 Gal QT to teach him a lesson. He will be the last Wrasse that I will re-introduce into my BC29.

Isn't a 29g quite a bit small for a mystery? 50g min is what I read. Could be wrong
