I have a twenty gallon saltwater tank containing a 2.5in. indigo hamlet and a 3 inch greenbird wrasse I added a week ago. The hamlet is doing great but I'm still not sure about the wrasse. He eats well but tends to sit at different places on the bottom most of the day. If disturbed, he swims vigorously. My nitrates are 5ppm, ammonia 0, SG 1.025-1.026. The wrasse's gill movements have have slowed down over the weekend. Is this normal behavior for this wrasse? I've seen one at LFS who also seems to rest on the bottom much of the time. What is going on?
