I want to see SPS tanks with a ton of wrasses?? Whats your secrets to keeping the two happy and healthy? Size of your tank and how many wrasses??

40g / 3McCosker wrasses (all male) they sent me 3male instead of 1male+2female and funny enough they are all doing amazing.

I acclimated them for a long period since wrasses tend to be more touchy (2hrs)
Feed 2x's a day with Mysis / brine / flake / pellets. Depends on the day, but typically feed mysis every day. They seem to love it.

Some need sand beds, others will be fine w/o so make sure u check that out.

Also... i suggest making a top so they dont jump out. DIY screen top will do the trick, its cheap and doesnt look bad.

anyone with a large tank with like twenty wrasses?

 

[lolgranny]

Im sure its doable, depending on type. What are you looking at getting?

i have approx 400 gal total and 45 wrasses .they are spread out in four tanks
2 55gal
1 90gal
129gal
200 gal sump refuge
i actually have found that wrasses when over crowded seem to have less squabbling because they never really get to claim a terratory IMO.

I have 8 in a 75 right now. Planning on getting another three next week. Really depends on which wrasses you want to combine. As for SPS, my color and growth are decent, but it takes a lot of filtration to even everything out.
