would adding two male wrasse in a 100 gallon tank cause them to fight....

I am thinking of adding

one Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse and one Velvet Multicolor Wrasse. will this be ok or should I just pick one.....
 
If one of them is older or much bigger, I'd say forget it. I had two C. species fairy wrasse in my 90g for a few months and it never worked out. The bigger one (C. cyanopleura), which was already established, constantly picked on the slightly smaller one (C. labouti), which I added. I thought it would stop after a while, but it never did. The labouti was never agressive, always hid, but I ended up selling the it because I felt bad. The cyanopleura was well established though and a few years old. If they're both small, then it might work out better.
 
I have 6 male fairy wrasses in a 120gal and 9 males in a 240gal with very little problems mostly just chasing. You shouldn't have problems if add them at the same time, I added most of mine one or two at a time with just 1-2 days of aggression then no one cared.
