First fish added McCosker's flasher wrasse

[BryanCaruso]

I have a 65 gallon I was wondering what other wrasse I could add in a month that will go good with the mccosker flasher and I don't know if mine is male or female. Or just stick to the one. I would like to keep a shrimp so I know some wrasse like to eat them. I was looking at a yellow coris. Let me know what you guys think

Should be fine. I have two similar wrasses with a cleaner shrimp as the yellow wrasse without issue.

Any other suggestions to go with this guy and deff not over 100$

Yellow Coris should be fine. The flasher is incredibly peaceful, shouldn't be any aggression issues from him/her.

Many Haliocheres wrasses aren't over 100$. Some Cirrhilabrus as well.
Melanurus Wrasse
Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
Those are just off the top of my head. Look on live aquaria, they've got a good place to see what wrasses you like.

Other species of flasher and small species of fairy wrasse, as well as small Halichoeres species.

The yellow coris, H. chrysus, should be fine.

For introducing a new fairy or flasher wrasse to an existing one, using a social acclimation box helps a lot.

I was reading if you add a different flasher to make sure they are a different color. Most of the fairy and flasher look very similar

I think the Lubbock fairy sp? Would be cool as long as fairy and flashers play nice? I also don't know if I have a male or what to get to make him flash more

Pretty much any wrasse will be fine with the flasher. I added another flasher many months after my McCosker's with no issues.
