Flame Wrasse experts, Trio ok?

[Treg]

I'm using the search button also but there are a LOT of post's for the words flame and wrasse so go easy on me...

I'm limited on wrasse experence and just wanted some input on how do you guys think a Trio of flame wrasses would do? Will 2 females be ok together?

Medium stocked, peacefull 90g tank. Barebottom and not a bunch of LR but I would be willing to add a small pile for them to hide if need be...

From everything I've read, these fish live in harems anyway, so I'd think keeping a trio, a foursome, or a fivesome on up is fine, provided there is only one male and you've got the room to support them.

Thanks Ivy.

Anyone else?

Trio, harem. No problem. I have 5 living together with no problem. If you want quality flame wrasses get them direct from the diver.

You can buy a pair and then add as many females as you want. Great quality. I have gotten a few from Brian.

I have a gorgeous male and four females without problems. They are in a tank with other fairy wrasses including Rhomboid, Earle, Johnson, all pairs.

Thanks LargeAngels.

I've got a LFS I'm pretty partial too and have a Trio on hold with them. They have some really nice looking ones right now and are great people to buy from.

Thats a great price for flames on the link tho!

Treg: No problem. It is not only the price, but the quality. This guy is one of the best collectors around. As you can see he goes really deep for some really rare stuff and knows his stuff about proper collection and decompression of the fish.

Snorvich: You must have gotten the earle's from Brian. How is your johnsoni doing? The one I got from Brian is doing great and has a lot of character.

I can't get this guy to reply to any of my emails...is there typically a long waiting period with this guy? I'm trying to get a pair of flames...

No. He did have some computer problems.
