Types of wrasses for a 60g cube?

[Johnson.cody]

Hi, what kind of wrasses would you recommend for a 60g cube?

Wetmorella species and Pseudocheilinops are small and cryptic.

Any of the flasher wrasses except P. octotaenia.

Some of the smaller Cirrhilabrus species such as the johnsoni complex or rubripinnis complex, also C. balteatus.

Mostly agree; it might be a bit tight for flashers IMO. I've always thought the 60 cube is one of the most difficult sizes for wrasses; the volume is there but the length isn't.

I'd also give the okay on the smaller species of Halichoeres; those which do not exceed 5".

Remember, they jump.

I have a small Yellow Coris (1.5") that does really well and is fun to watch. Just make sure you have a decent sandbed (2-3") for them to sleep in. Will grow to a max of 5" and like Mystery's will possibly eat small inverts as they grow larger. Mine is a voracious eater like my clown and holds its own against my much larger Cherub Angel. Great color too!

You can do two smaller fairy wrasses. My choices would be Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse and Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse. If you have minimal live rock with a few caves that's even better. With wrasses it's a fine balance between having enough hiding places and swimming space.

I am going to look into the Coris wrasse or the fairies! Also what do you people think about a 6 line wrasse will it be agressive towards any other fish?:deadhorse:

Hahaha the six line 98 percent of the time will tick you off, but there is always a chance you might get a model prisoner... Just not worth the risk, the yellow might be a better choice. Another wrasse any of the flasher "that will fit in a 60 gal" personally I am tossing up the idea of two Scott's wrasse in a 75

Haha, I think I am going to get the yellow coris I called my lfs and what do ya know he has one just for me!
