i just added a purple and orange wrasse to my tank, but my secretive wrasse won't stop picking on him. what should i do?

You can try turning the lights off to give the new wrasse a chance to gain some ground. You can also try feeding the tank to keep the attention off the offending wrasse even for a little bit. you can also try rearranging some easily moved rocks to change the landscape a bit and confuse the resident wrasse.

I would cover the tank tonight to keep any jumpers from succeeding especially while the harrassing is going on.

You can try what Jp stated as they are viable solutions. Many types of fish are not compatable with others of the same kind! So keep this in mind!

Here's a couple of things you can try that has worked with my SOB Purple Tang that likes to bully fish especially my Moorish Idol. Try rearranging the tank and/or place the aggresive fish in a QT tank for a time out session for about 7-14 days, then place it back in the tank. If this doesnt work then one fish will need to go.
