Could I add a flasher wrasse?

[Jaweeha]

Hi everyone, I have a 125 gallon tank that has right now a starry blenny, a yellow coris wrasse, and a green coris wrasse. I've been wanting to add a flasher wrasse, but not sure if he would get along with the other two? Everyone in the tank is very peaceful, they even all swim together in a school sometimes. I'm just a little worried the two wrasses already in there will attack the new one. Thanks in advance.

What kind of top do you have on your tank?

 

[Jaweeha]

A tight fitting glass one. No holes more than 1/8th of an inch wide.

You should make your own screen mesh top for the tank. It will allow for better oxygen exchange. Use the 1/4" mesh and you should be golden at keeping fish in your tank.

+1 the mesh screen tops are great, and you can build them for next to nothing!

Ok, I will build a mesh one, you all think he'll be fine with the other wrasses?

Yep.

Yep.

Also, a yep.

FWIW, I have a pair of McCosker's flasher wrasses in a 180, and they more than hold their own against other wrasses and tangs.

Thanks everyone! Hopefully picking him up in a couple weeks :spin3:
