Flasher wrasse question

[BryanCaruso]

How do you guys feel about a flasher wrasse added first to a brand new system?

 

[BryanCaruso]

Nobody?

Ha, easy does it man, site is mainly a US based page, you asked at night. What size tank, what plans do you have for other fish, which flasher. Many of them are pretty calm so I don't think it would be a problem. My fairy wrasse is a total push over.

Shouldn't be a problem. I added a McCosker's in my first batch of fish.

That is exaxtly the one I wanted. So go with one male? It is a 65gallon RR

Tank is already cycled? If so no problem adding a flasher first. You could add more than one flasher as long as it is a different species. Like maybe a McCoskers and a Yellowfin. Yes, males.

 

[BryanCaruso]

No it is not cycled yet will begin on Wednesday

Make sure the tank is covered! Flashers are big time jumpers.

It would be best to get the tank cycled where there is zero ammonia and zero nitrite prior to introducing any fish.

Wrasses jump.

This. Don't cycle with live fish. Cruel.
