What wrasse to add after lepard??

[malawinovice]

75 gallon reef

coral beauty
pair oc clowns
orchid dottyback
kupang damsels
lepard wrasse - 3 weeks eating well on mysis and enriched brine shrimp


lfs has

yellow coris wrasse
and of interest a pinkface wrasse

any concerns???

i would say a yellow coris wrasse will be a better tankmate than a pinkface but if you leopard you should give it more time to get adjusted. 3 weeks isnt long enough for a leopar to truly get established. they are really delicate fish. to be honest you are probably approaching the limit of your 75 anyway.

the leopard was out and about from day one, eating mysis and enriched brineshrimp.

Only the coral beauty chases the leopard wrasse. The kupang damsels tried to bully it, but after a few days of feeding, the leopard just ignored them.

I should probably wait, but I purchased the leopard to deal with a flatworm explosion, and it really isnt working.

therefore the yellow coris

what about a six line?

 

[rgentry123]

i wouldnt. sixline's are notoriously aggressive fish and will definately bully a leopard wrasse around as well as anything else you intend to add later. although i wouldnt recommend adding anything else

please read this thread & don't add a six line!

no, not a sixline but have you thought about a female leopard the same as the one that you currently have ? black leopards are great tankmates . stay away from the clown fairy, mystery ,and the sixline ,not to mention the hawian four line .

I will avoid the sixline wrasse. The urge to purchase another fish that appears healthy is hard to resist.

At what time am I in the clear for another fish?
