Can you tell me how big these fish get? and how well they get along with a Melanarous Wrasse in a 140 gallon tank?
Thanks,

klasiksb,

Thank you for your post. We will be contacting our Aquaculture Coral and Marine Life Facility for you on Monday to find further information on the Thalassoma newtoni. Once we have this information available we will post in here for you.

We thank you for your patience.

klasiksb,

Thalassoma newtoni from West Africa can grow up to 8". This information can be verified on page 611 of the book titled World Atlas of Marine Fish by Rudie H. Kuiter and Helmut Debelius.

I would not recommend mixing wrasse of the genus Thalassoma with Halichoeres melanurus . Thalassoma wrasse normally do best in larger aquariums mixed with larger more territorial fish.
