Stocking list questions

[Reef1121]

Just seeing what people think of my current stocking list and had a few questions about wrasses and anthias.

First off my current stocking list for my 55 is:
2 Picasso Percs
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Carpenter's Wrasse

I was looking at potentially getting another wrasse and from what my LFS, that I work part time at cleaning their tanks, told me is that as long as you get wrasses from different famlies they should get along. i.e I could get a female carpenters wrasse cause their the same species but couldnt get another Paracheilinus family wrasse as they would fight. Is this true? If so I was looking at either a fairy wrasse or a mystery wrasse.

I was also looking at maybe getting a trio of small anthias like carberryi (Nemanthias carberryi), coral sea long-fin (Pseudanthias cf ventralis 2) or hawaiian long-fin anthias (Pseudanthias hawaiiensis). My friend has a pair of carberryi's in his 30g solano and has them trained to eat only once a day. I was still planning on feeding multiple times a day, but has anyone else had similar progress like that? Or any experiance with any of those specias of anthia.

Any help would be great or different suggestions for reef safe, friendly fish.

Mystery wrasses can be as aggressive as six-lines, IMO. I would not get a mystery. I have kept mixed fairy/flashers with no problems. My tank is a 300g though.

Also, those ventralis anthias are extremely delicate and are generally consider a fish best kept by advanced aquarists. The carberryi would perhaps be a much better choice. Their survival rate is much better.

would it be possible to do a trio or 2 carberryi anthias in a 55g

So Im "inheriting" a bartlett's anthia later this week from one of my friends due to him moving and tearing down tanks. Does anyone have any experience with these fish and would they get along with my current stocking list. Haven't gotten the carberryi anthias.
