Will these wrasses work

[spsrookie]

I ordered from LA last night that should be here tomorrow. A few guys I spoke to said it should be OK, would like to get more opinions:

Carpenters flasher male ( 3 inches), female hooded fairy ( 2 inch), 1 inch Christmas wrasse, and 1 inch melanurus.

It's a 75 gallon tank, and I have a 150 in my garage which I will be setting up cycling as soon as be weather breaks.

In the tank now I have a 2 inch powder blue, 1 inch hippo, gray headed wrasse and two clowns.

Thanks

It should be fine, but add the christmas and melanurus via an acclimation box, as the grey head may show some initial aggression.

Agree on the acclimation box for certain.

If this is a QT (sounds like it's not) make sure you have a container of sand for the Halichoeres wrasses to sleep in. I like to put them into QT by hand right over the container, so they can bury immediately.

I had a Halichoeres Claudia "Christmas Wrasse" and although he was gorgeous, he really went after my inverts. I currently have a grey head and radiant wrasse and they seem far less aggressive in that regard.

Good luck,

Adam

Where can I get an acclimation box from?

No qt, I plan on dosing the tank with prazi soon.

This set up and fish were all given to me a few weeks ago, established I moved the tank to my house, and the agreement with the wife was I leave it as is. (No more new fish or coral)

No way I could set up a second tank to qt, plus, I am not sure what the other fish have, since they had been in there some time
