Lubbock'ss fairy wrasse in a 20 Long? Your opinions.

[Charley Diesing]

I'm currently down grading my 40 Breeder to a 20 Long. During this exchange I'll be getting rid of...

-Tomini tang
-Blue damsel
-Saphire damsel
-Sixline wrasse

Only thing I'd really love to keep is my Lubbock's Fairy wrasse. He's fairly small around 2-2.5 inches. I've had him for about 6 months now. And he is by far my favorite fish I've ever owned.

Very peaceful never harms anything. Including inverts, fish, etc.

Anyway what are you'll thoughts? I probably wouldn't get any other fish except maybe a couple small gobies.

Also keep in mind a 20 long is 30 x 12 x 12. So he really will have a good amount of horizontal swimming space.

But for that wrasse, that isnt alot of swimming room.

thats one small tank

Yeah, I wouldn't do this personally. Just not enough volume for this guy to prosper.

 

[Charley Diesing]

Thanks for the responses. Probably gonna get rid of him. Or at least see how he does. He shouldn't be to hard to get him out of there if he gets stressed.

Thanks,

Charley

That's a mellow fairy wrasse... Mine was never dashing around the tank like other fairies or flashers. I'd say it may be OK in your tank.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. He's so calm and relaxed. Unlike some sporadic fish I have owned. I'm going to give him a shot. And we'll see how he does. If he seems stressed or uncomfortable I'll get him out of there. It shouldn't be a problem I'm an expert fish catcher.

I agree with Hunter.
