Flame wrasse & firefish

[suta4242]

I'm toying with the idea of getting a pair of flame wrasses, but already have Heflrichi firefish in another tank. The DT they would all eventually go to is about125 gallons.

Looking for feedback from flame wrasse owners, as to whether the wrasse will intimidate the firefish?

Thanks for your time!:thumbsup:

No, they aren't aggressive towards the helfrichi's.
But when I introduced the mystery wrasse, they wouldn't stop fighting.
There was no way for me to catch the mystery, so he disappeared one day without a trace, like many of my other fishes lol.

ive never had a aggression issue with my flame wrasses.
now my rhomboid male allows the flame male in the tank and not in the overflow.
also i have suspicion that my flame female killed my rhomboid female

I have a Flame wrasse pair as well as a Firefish (Dartfish) and a pair of Zebra Dartfish. Non of my wrasse even look at the Dartfish, they totally ignore them.

Yes female fairy wrasses are more aggressive than males, especially, among others, flames.

No other wrasses in the tank (except a few Wetmorella sp.) but there will be some quiet anthias. So the flames are likely to leave all other fish alone then, right?

Probably, but every fish is an unique individual so you just never know until you try.

Highly likely, yes. Certain? Never in this hobby.

I never heard of a flame wrasse killing a frichi or any other fairy wrasse before.
Mystery Wrasse vs the world yes.
