Tips please on how to keep these happy...

Two wrasses. Forgot their names already.

What else can i keep with them. Are they hardy or not. They are eating mysis so far. Hoping to train to eat dried food.

Second one us a royal pencil wrasse

Word on the street is they don't ship well. If you get one and it's eating good luck, but seems that people can't seem to keep them long term. (personally I'm hoping to enjoy a long friendship with mine)

The pencil wrasse seems to be doing well. Happy and eating so far. I would like to add more wrasses and I am just wondering if flasher wrasses are peaceful enough to add.
Thanks for the responses..

red tail tamarin and a pencil wrasse. Both are hard to keep.

Yes, and the pencil wrasse is a prolific jumper.

Jumper is an understatement. I think he likes skipping across the surface. Even in my 125, I was thinking he needs a bigger tank. 6ft wasn't long enough, but after a week and a half he has tamed down a lot.
