additions after Mystery wrasse

[harlequin tusk]

Has anyone had luck adding any fairy wrasses after already having a mystery wrasse? Like a Cirrhilabrus solorensis, for example, after already having a mystery wrasse in the tank? I have a 120g tank and would like to add another fairy wrasse

I added a red tail wrasse with my mystery,no harm at all,just my melanerus showing his true colors and might.

I did try it once, he lasted one day minus a head

I added a masuda hogfish after a very well established mystery wrasse. They paid no mind to each other, other than if I fed table shrimp. Then they'd come alive

one thing you could try is an in tank acclimation container. Then you could see how much bullying/aggression is possible while protecting your new purchase from harm. I've read too many posts about Mystery's being mean to not think it could be some trouble.

I put in a Possum Wrasse after my MW was established, big mistake. I think my next wrasse will have to be a bit larger than my MW to deter aggression.

I don't think size will help you.
