Multiply fairy wrasses

[Michael7979]

Right now I have a single wrasse in my 100 reef. Not sure of the exact name but it is red in color with a lighter/white belly. I want to add another to the tank, most-likely a solensis wrasse or tri-color wrasse.

So the question is do you believe that this idea would be OK?

I have seen others with mulitple wrasses in their tanks but they have always been larger then my system.

Is there anyone out there that have 2 wrasses in a tank of around 100 gallons and added the wrasses at different times.

Any help would be great! TIA.

i have a 75g reef tank and it has been running for about a year now. initially i found a really cool fairy wrasse a at LFS and bought him. he was very docile and didnt bother anything. about a month or two ago i tried adding a fillamented flasher wrasse and it didnt go so well. the fairy wrasse picked on him a bunch, so the new guy hid in the rocks. since then, ive only seen the flasher twice. when the lights go out! if you do it be careful. it would be best to add them at the same time if possible.

good luck

I have multiple wrasses in my 120. I have a lubbocks wrasse to start, then 5 months later added a solar, then about 5 months later added a female solar, then about 3 months later added a carpenters flasher.

I quaranteend them, then added them at night with the lights off so that the can go and hide...

similiar families of wrasses with close to the same colors may pick on each other
