New wrasse ideas

[oshanickreef]

So I am sad to say that my yellow Coris wrasse was found on top of my lid dried up. The one time I don't put the lid on correctly......

I have also been thinking my tank needs more wrasses since I am down to just one small female leopard wrasse. Here is what I am thinking:

1 Vrolik's wrasse
2 female leopard wrasses (hoping they form a trio with my current female).
1 Melanurus wrasse
1 Yellow Coris wrasse

Any other ideas? Or any reason to stray away from the above mentioned fish? I have a very large cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp. Not too many hermits left and a bunch of trocus snails and conchs.

Thanks!

There is a great thread on the other site about wrasses, mixing species and compatibility. Since RC blocks other site links, I cant post full one, but here is a part to add after "other site.com": threads/all-about-reef-safe-wrasses-in-aquaria.259894/

I probably wouldn't try to mix the Vrolik's and melanurus. They are essentially sister species.

People do keep multiple leopards, so that could work.

What about fairies and flashers?

Every Vrolik or Mel. I've tried makes a huge mess with the sand. I just bought a Yellowband Wrasse from my LFS that is really pretty!

I have a Melanurus, Banana, Yellow Tailed Tamarin, Cleaner, Pastel Green and a Leopard all quite happily living together with no issues.

We all have our favorites. I like the Melanurus and Yellow/Purple https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct...aw0gcGcs3qil6B9hOpGTUr2z&ust=1573768162049678

I also have a Red Head Salon and a Carpenters fairy. Plus a pair of female Blue Star Leopards. If you want a male you should probably get 5 although 3 might work.
