Wrasse won't eat anymore

[Jesshika]

My flasher wrasse jumped out of the tank when I was away :shakehead: and since then, my cleaner wrasse hasn't been eating anything. Usually he eats everything I put in the tank. I tried mysis shrimp and garlic soaked foods and he swims up to the food but he won't eat it. Does he miss the flasher or something? What can I do to make him eat again?

How long have you had the cleaner wrasse. Unfortunateky they are notorious for not doing well in home aquaria.

Maybe one of your other fish have been picking on your wrasses?

Just a little over 6 months, but she has always been the most lively one out of everyone until the flasher died. =/ All I have besides the cleaner wrasse is a small maroon clownfish and a fire fish who both never bother anyone.

I bought a yellow fin fairy wrasse to replace the flasher and now the cleaner wrasse is back to eating again :screwy:
