That's a lot of wrasse to QT at once. A 40g breeder would work for most. To do all those fish mentioned I think a 90g would work

Ok, I have a fallow 90 corner display(so no meds) I could use. It has no substrate. Do I need a Tupperware container with sand for each Wrasse?

Thanks.

tupper ware for sure, large would be preferred. Minimum five weeks quarantine.

Thanks.

^This. I would put several containers with sand in the tank.

Do you have experience with the any Pencil Wrasse species? They can be quite delicate from what I hear.

What is your QT protocol (just observations or any prophylactic treatments)?

I've read that the Ornate Wrasse can become aggressive with maturity but you may have enough going on in that tank to disperse that aggression.

Good Luck

Ornates are no walk in the park either
