3 wrasses in a 90 gallon?

[brett559]

I've always wanted a mystery wrasse. A fellow reefer may be willing to sell his established mystery wrasse - probably 3+ years old.

Current tank (90g) is as follows (ten fish):
Clownfish x 2
Blue tang (juvi)
Purple tang
Purple firefish
Royal Gramma
Yellow candy hogfish
Flame angel
Melanarus wrasse
Orange-back fairy wrasse

The orange-back has been in maybe two weeks. The melanarus chased him around at first and nipped his tail some. Things have calmed down now.

I've heard sometimes three wrasses are better than two. Again, I've always wanted a mystery and this would be a chance to get a healthy one at a good price.

What say you guys?

Mystery wrasses dont play well with other wrasses, so the chasin that the melanurus did will be similar to the mystery wrasses behavior, but instead of ending after a few days will continue indefinitely.

I was lucky...my mystery wrasse never bothered any other wrasses (~40), it was one the first fish moved into a bigger tank when I upgraded...and had no problems with many new additions over the past 5 years.

My experience is similar to eatbreakfast.

Even if the mystery is added last?

Call me lucky but the last two mystery wrasse I have kept have been very docile, even with shrimps. My current one 2+ years plays nice with shrimp, radiant wrasse, and two leopard wrasses. Your mileage may vary though.
