Help me plan my wrasse purchase

[alwmh4]

I currently have no wrasses so I'm shopping around. I want a few but catch is for them to get along.
Current inhabitants are quoyi parrot, white tail bristle tooth, diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, and a bellus pair. Only fish that gets pushed around right now is the female bellus.
Display tank is 150 (in reality, it holds 130... But they call it a 150)

Which do you suggest for interest around the rock work and that will mesh with my current bunch? And then how many?

Thank you!

I have a carpenters flasher wrasse . Great fish . Highly recommend

You can have more than one in a tank?



I also forgot to mention that I have cleanup crew and coral. Not sure if all wrasses are reef safe.

 

[fairl80z]

Or an opossum wrasse. Both of the wrasses that I have mentioned are reef safe

Yes you can have several males and all different ones. There are a few members that have dozens in their tanks. Constantly flashing at each other.

McCosker's wrasse gets my vote. I've got one and it's awesome, also reef safe. I'm pretty sure all of the flasher wrasses are reef safe.

Lineatus, cf. lanceolatus or flame for the fairy

Diamond tail for the flasher

Now on the cheaper side
Red velvet or pink margin for the fairy

Mccoskers, carpenters, or lineopunctatus for the flasher

 

[d-man]

And yes, u can have many of each in tanks, best is to always use an acclimation box for a few days when adding new specimens

FWIW my wrasse inhabitants include solon fairy, exquisite fairy, red velvet, pink margin, tammenicki, naokis and a grey head. They all get along fine together and with the other fishes, some on the list will take inverts.

I know nothing about parrot fish so I don't know if they will work together.

I keep a mystery and yellow coris. The yellow coris wrasses have to be some of the most well behaved tank inhabitants I've ever had.

 

[alwmh4]

I've read the yellow coris can munch on snails. Have you seen that?

take a look at Liveaquaria.com and check out their reef safe wrasses and you probably can get a better determination.
