Am I very lucky with my wrasses???? The definitive I need a bigger tank thread.

[GroceryGetterS4]

So i'm wondering just how lucky I really am in regards to the very minimal amount of aggression I have, I have quite a few very large male and supermale fairy wrasses, and wanted to know if this was very a-typical (I assume it is after reading many horror story threads about one of more of the types of wrasses I own being brutal to other wrasses).

I have a standard 90, with very open rock work, plenty of caves that each wrasse has their own sleeping spot.

My wrasse list is as follow:

Super Male Labouti
Super Male Flame
Male Neokos
Super Male Lineatis
Super Male Pin Tail
Super male Hybrid Temeniki x Lineatis (i'm 95% super this is the combo)
Super Male Yellow Corris Wrasse (he's the ***** of the tank, occasionally nips a fin or two)




I know i'm way overstocked as far as wrasses, i'm ACTIVELY searching for a 6 foot tank. I get a nipped fin or two, but never any ruthless aggression, or pinning of a fish in the corner. I feed very, very heavy. I assume this is the reason for the minimal aggression.

This is an 10 month old picture of the tank, just to show the rock work. Purple tang is gone, after killing $500 worth of fish out of the blue, even though I had had him for 2 years. I apologize for the crappy pictures.



Just a picture to show a few of the wrasses.

Having quite a few wrasses spreads any aggression out, while still making for a nice display. A lot of flashing, but no one fish getting singled out and bullied.

Do you have a pick of the temminckii x lineatus hybrid? That's a hybrid I am unfamiliar with.

Judging by the first picture, it's scottorum.

That's not it, that was a scotts. He passed away of an internal parasite (ate like a pig, just kept getting skinnier and skinnier). I'll see if I can snap a picture of the hybrid (I think it's a hybrid at least). He's very new (a couple of days, and still hiding and shy).

After doing a lot of research, the hybrid is definitely a Katoi Terminal Male. And a BEAUTIFUL one at that. He was sold as a teminiki and I thought he was a hybrid, because I was sure he wasn't one. I picked him up for $60, and he's every bit of 4 1/2-5 inches. Seeing the price of them, I did very well.

I tried to get shots of him flashing, as my leniatis is picking on him. His fins are HUGE. Way bigger than even my supermale flames. I need to bust out my dslr and get some good shots.
