Please suggest 3 wrasses.

[joaovieira]

Ok i admit. I love wrasses.

I have a 200 gallons reeftank which has so far 2 wrasses. Labuti and Red velvet wrasse. I also have a mandarin fish. I plan to add a radiant wrasse and three other wrasses. Please suggest me three compatible beautiful wrasses which will not compete with mandarin.

Thanks everyone.

Please anyone suggest me 3 wrasses

Possum wrasses are cool.

All those wrasses may cause your mandarin to starve. Hopefully you have a super huge pod population.


eta: sorry, didnt see the mandarin non compete clause you had in original poost!

McCoskers are one of my favorites.

All wrasses can cause competition for food with a mandarin

fairy and flashers should be fine...but the Labouti may become aggressive. I would suggest using an 'acclimation' box after QTing the fish, to check the interaction of the wrasses, before releasing them into DT.

My labouti is a beast. Any long cylindrical fish (wrasses) that entire the tank will take a beating for at least a week. Be sure to buy and use an acclimation box....

My vote:
lineatus
orange shoulder (aurantidorsalis)
hooded (bathyphilus)
Linespot flasher (lineopunctatus)

not sure if it would be compatible but my red corris wrasse is cool

Red sea 8 line flasher.
Japanese lunate fairy.
Kwazulu fairy.
Hooded fairy.
In that order, i have them all paired and they are awesome fish. Although the Kwazulu and Japanese lunate will be very difficult to find and pricey.
