Monday I noticed that the Wrasse was acting strange. He is hardly active anymore and often lies underneath the Anemone rock with his belly up. Also his breathing seems to be heavier and faster. Don’t know how long he will keep this up or if he gets better.


Two days later it seemed that it was over. After looking real close in the aquarium I could see something which looked like the Wrasse underneath the rocks at a place that we couldn’t reach. But now, 4 days later, there is no trace anymore of the Wrasse.
The cause is still unknown, but stress might have something to do with it. In the beginning he showed himself often, swimming around. Some months after he got in he hide more underneath the rocks, coming out only when he thought no one was near.
Not sure if we are going to get a new Wrasse, maybe to help against the Planaria? But it sure wont be another Yellow Wrasse.
