Melanarus and Melanarus Wrasse

[thanhjenn]

I would like to add 2 of the above wrasse. One is a juv and other is adult. Does anyone think it would be ok?

I have had a male (2 1/2") with a juvi/female (2") in the tank for about a month now without any problems.

Picking up my first wrasse this weekend and it happens to be a melanurus also. Pretty excited as I've heard great things about them. Next on the list is a mystery wrasse! If you end up with the wrasses update us and get some pic's...

Mysterys are a bit punky compared to Melanarus. Hopefully, you won't get aggression.

I have kept a melanurus, christmas, richmond's, and leopard wrasse together sucessfully but when I tried to add a second leopard wrasse to form a pair the original leopard wrasse would not quite picking on it. It's worth a shot but be prepared to remove him from the tank if they do not get along...Currently I have 13 different wrasses coexisting peacefully in my 240g so it's do-able but not easy...
