Adding Female Wrasses

[btkrausen]

I currently have some nice wrasses in my tank, all male, and am planning to add some females. Has anybody added the female second? And what was your experience?

I plan to add two female Rhomboids to my tank, as I've had a nice male for a month now. I also plan to add a female Flame and female Labouti to my tank as well for my males.

Just make sure to use your acclimation box. And you will be fine. Out of the 3, add the female flame last.

Thanks Brad. I need to split my acclimation box, cause I think they are all coming at the same time. I did get the big one though.

I'm also going to be upgrading to a much bigger tank soon as well.

Why add the flame last?

I believe his order is in order of aggression.

Exactly. Females are more aggressive than males. And it's been my experience that flames are more aggressive than rhomboids.
