Lots of fairy wrasse question

[bullitr]

First
how can you QT it to remove all the possible ick parasite that they may carry?
hyposalinity always failed everytime i tried it so
i want to use prazi pro with low dose copper to start to ensure it eats well first like most LFS i seen.
then increase the copper to recomended dose or as the fishes can tolerate
since it will be with 3 large angel , 3 tangs and a pair of clown fish on a 150 gallon QT/ FOLWR tank.

next
how do you prevent aggression ?
my solon killed my orange back and labouti that a lot bigger than the solon
should i put 3 or more of them ( one male 2 female?)

next
i want to have 25 wrasse on a thin sand bed 1/2" - 1"
with limited hiding space since my main tank has open aquascape
should i add more sand and drill a lot of large holes on the live rocks?
or it doesnt matter?

last
should i add them all at once on a the main tank to prevent territorial issues or a pairs at a time then social acclimate using a large acclimation box?


i want to keep this if possible?

pair of leopard wrasse
pair of flame wrasse
trio of flasher wrasse
pair of rhomboid
pair of mc corskers
pair of lineatus
trio of velvet
trio of yellow coris
trio of blue side
a juvenille and sub adult red coris wrasse since its hunts all the time for bugs and flatworms and i will not have any small frags on the tank for it to tip over.

i want to ask first before start buying them so i am trying to be patient
while the qt tank runs for a few months with only few fishes on it.

Thats a lot of fish to qt or add at the same time. adding them over time with an acclimation container seems to be a better way to go


I've not kept all the fish you have listed, but I'm sure all these fish can get along in a huge tank as none have a horrible rep. I'm suprised the solon wrasse you kept was a problem as I have not had issues with the several I've kept.


Some comments on your list

All fish behave different just basing on my research and observations...
The leopard wrasses can be shy and do not always take prepared foods. You will not have any pods for them to eat and they will be out competed by the other wrasses.

red coris wrasses get big and will eat any snails, hermits, & shrimp.

like most fish limiting aggression has a lot to do with keeping species that are not closly related and look different from each other.

you will want deeper sand for your coris and leopard wrasses 1-2" is probably ok.

your tank must be 100% covered

Thanks for the reply
I have a leopard wrasse right now and doing well for a while now...

I also know that the red coris can be aggressive as it mature so i was planning to catch it later on or replace it with mystery wrasse instead but it also have a behavioral issues.

I am definitely add more sand for the divers.regarding the cover I had a 7 yellow coris wrasses before that jump few times a day and never had a problem with it carpet surfing since both side of the cabinetry is always close but I will have a net or clear acrylic on hand just in case.

I think right off the bat your going to have a difficult time keeping all those pairs 1 male and 1 female, some of those females will change over and then the choas begins. Keep in mind also that most wrasse don't get along with similar shaped and colored wrasses. This list has some similar of both.
Lighten the load of the wrasse in half and you should be ok.

Less is sometimes more
