my mystery wrasse ate my cleaner shrimp.... as a result, i don't have the mystery anymore, he wasn't even that large of a fish at the time either....

Savannah cats are wild looking, my daughter wants one. Your greenwing won't like though:eek2:
why not a foxface?

Wife really likes cleaner shrimp so I'll pull the Mystery off the list.

They have the potential of picking on corals. I had a one spot and he was fine, loved bubble algae, but he grew very fast and was a real piggy so I traded him away.

If you put the cleaner shrimps in first you may have a better chance of the wrasse being fine with the shrimp. That way they don't see you adding the shrimp and perceive it as a food item. Not always and sometimes they play nice for a long while and then they up and get aggressive or eat your cuc so never a guarantee. I don't have a mystery but I have 8 different wrasses in my tank (4x2x2) with 2 cleaner shrimp, anemone shrimp, harlequin shrimp, crabs and snails and have lost few if any with them.

I have read though Mystery wrasses get rather aggressive overtime so best to add that fish last if you do decide to do it.

I used to have a blue spot and made this little hotel for him. I traded him cuz he wasn't getting enough food imo in my busy tank but he was fun for a while. They will move frags and rocks so be aware of that, also its recommended that they have a pretty deep substrate.

i agree the fox face can have the potential to pick on the corals but i was thinking more in terms of its size.

even though you have a large 120 gallon tank, its only 4 feet long. it may not give the fish adequate room to swim and get it stressed.

its funny my parrot loves my cat, but then again my cats far from a tiger lol

I had a BSJ and as nice as it was, I'd never get one again. He threw sand everywhere and dug holes everywhere.

I'll put him as a later-maybe an do some more research.

My blue and gold is fully flighted, the dogs where very interested in her as a play toy when we got them as puppies. Then she flew, even years later when she comes out they're gone.

The BSJ was a maybe, I was already worried he might cause to much damage and eat all the critters in the sand bed.
