Multiple supermale wrasses

[locuus]

I'm going full circle back to Cirrhilabrus wrasses with my new 3x3.

So far I'm set on a pair/trio of lunatus, with the likelihood of a pair of rhomboids, and a pair of vanuatu exquisites. I'm looking for a mix of colours, so any suggestions welcome.

I have the opportunity to get supermales in all but the lunatus (not sure as yet on that one). Would there be an issue having multiple supermales in a tank that size?

Other potentials are lineatus pair, angulatus flashers.

Supermales of the species you mentioned would be fine together, in fact the majority of Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus would be fine as males together.

Something to be aware of is that sometimes female linneatus can be aggressive toward males.

Which lunatus? The true Japanese of the Philippine cf. lunatus variant? I ask because the true lunatus is quite passive; I wouldn't mix that one with other Cirrhilabrus unless the tank was much larger. I can't speak to the temperament of cf. lunatus, but I speculate that one would be fine.

My cf. lunatus is pretty bold and fit right in with the group.

My cf. lunatus is pretty bold and fit right in with the group.

+1, although smaller than many of my other wrasses, my pair of cf. Lunatus are doing great... I'm hoping to add a few more when they're available again

cf. lunatus out of the Philippines. Impossible to get the Japanese Lunatus here in Australia

I've tried to keep the list as much as possible to more passive wrasses.

That's great news, thank you!

my cf. Lunatus became the top fish of the tank after I removed the naoko... And by top fish I mean hes now a bully, my flame being the same size is no match for him. linespot flasher pretty much stays in the cave all day now except feeding time. So I would say add that to your tank as one of the last or next to last addition.

I am now worried about the rhmboid pair in my qt. They will definitely be in the acclimation box for a while when they go in the DT.
