3-4 wrasses

[jon1985]

SO I am building 100 gallon tank and putting together a fish list.

I have been looing at liveaquaria.com and they have several reef safe wrasses that are supposed to get along with eachother.

I have been thinking and I think I would like 3-4 different wrasses.


The current list is:
-pair of GSM clowns
-atlantic blue tank (not for sure)
-flame angel
-YWG and pistol shrimp
-
-
-
-

Inverts
-2-3 cleaner shrimp
-2-3 blood shrimp
-several BTAs
-lots of coral

Please make recomendations for groups that have worked for you in the past, or havent worked for you. Please nothing that will eat my shrimp.

Thanks

Most fairy or flasher wrasses do great together, but, and this is a big but, you have to have a cover over your tank or they will eventually jump out.

I will have egg crate over my tank. It will be serving a dual purpose, 1: keep my fish in, 2: keep my cats out.

Eggcrate wont keep the wrasses in, they can still get thru, you need a 1/4 x1/4 mesh top.

 

[jon1985]

What kind of mesh is that?

Egg crate will NOT keep fairy wrasses in.

what type of netting am I looking for?

how much light does it block?

Its a 1/4 x 1/4 inch clear mesh, and you build your own window screen frame that you can buy at any hardware store, Lowes, Home Depot. I'll pm you the name of a guy that sells it for around 85 cents a square ft.
