Help mixing wrasses

[jimbra]

Hello! My tank seems a little empty so ive been thinking of adding another fish or 2 to my tank. So far I have a M. meleagris and a pair of onxy tank and was thinking on getting a lubbocks fairy or carpenter flasher wrasse in the next few days, then another type of leopard down the road. Would this combination work in my 50g?

Thanks for the help!

Although your tank is on the smaller side, as long as you stick to the list you proposed, I think they should all do well. However if your current M. meleagris is a male, I would recommend adding a female Leopard in the future to avoid any possible issues.

My current leopard is kind of funky, ive had it for a little over 2 years now and its only tank mates have been two clowns in that time. I honestly believe the reason it hasnt gone male is because it thinks its a clown and is submissive to the female (though she is not aggresive towards the leopard), it sleeps at the base or around the nem (h. crispa) and even does the shimy like male clowns do lol
