leopard wrasse compatibility

[skraj011]

Would a group of well established bipartitus wrasses be ok with a pair of 2.5" juvenile red coris wrasses? I understand that adult coris's would pose a problem.

thanks.

As long as the leopards are the established fish they will be just fine with the coris. Its just the red coris gets big and destructive, but not terribly aggressive.

just curious, have you done this or know someone who has?

A friend has a 120g mixed reef, that is wrasse dominant one is a black leopard and one is a red coris. No issues whatsoever.

Leopards will school in mixed groups, given enough space and food. The coris could be a problem, even at a small size, depending on the individual fish's temperament.

Leopard wrasses do not school, some are more social than others, but they are haremic, not schooling at all.

That is correct.
