Ahh! Jaws is after me! Really! This thing has teeth this long:-- He is only an inch. He is the only one in a 30 gallon tank and I was wondering if he will be too aggressive now to add anything else. He will throw small pieces of live rock at the glass and bite fingers! He does eat hair algae though. The tank he is in has been setup for 3 months, and is my 2nd 30 gallon tank. Already cycled. I was hoping that he wouldn't be so aggressive, but he really is! Please help!

Dragon Wrasses get to be 11.8" long, there minimum aquarium size is a 75 gal. maby he is being aggressive because he is in such a small tank. when he gets bigger you must have a bigger hame for him to move into, or you will have to give him back to the LFS

Not only does he seem to be highly aggressive and will outgrow his current tank, he's also going to drive you nuts with digging under the rockwork and turning over rocks; it's what they do. I'd say if you're looking for a peaceful tank, you'd best work out a trade with the LFS. They are neat looking fish though.
