Mixing Wrasses?

[jeemann99]

I currently have a Radiant Wrasse, but would like to add a 4 line wrasse. Would this work? I have a 110 tall with about 160#'s of liverock.

Thanks

I've never had an issue w/mixing them. Seen folks here with many species kept together. The biggest problem I've had w/them is jumping. You cannot have any openings at all!

I dont have a four line or a radient but i have a neon wrasse mixed with a fairy wrasse and they do fine. They seem to be peaceful fish for the most part.

Jen,

Which one is known for jumping the 4 line or Radiant?

I think they all jump. At least all mine did... Waiting on a new tank (bigger, 90g) w/a canopy this time.

I keep a radient and an ornate (christmas) wrasse together, and some other fairys together as well. I knever had problems with any jumpers.

Rod, what type of tank are they in? Wrasses have always been #1 on my jump list, in fact I really can't think of another fish I've had jump. Set up my first saltwater tank back in 83 though, so my old timers may be kickin in. I know I've had a few eels on the floor.
With wrasses it's not really that they decide to jump out of the tank, but more that they get spooked or chased, make a dart to get away and are air born before they can do anything about it.
I think jeemann will be alright with the radiant and 4 line, but there's never a sure thing.

But you "hate fish," so if one jumped, you wouldn't have any problems!

NO, I think fish suck :lol: .

Bob, my wrasses are in eurobraced acrylics.

So that lip does keep them from jumping? I'll be getting a 90g w/an oak canopy. I'm hoping I can use something to cover the back so I can keep wrasses again.
