Wrasse compatibility

[Freed]

Hi, I would love to buy some reef safe wrasses from you. I already have a six-line in my 180 gallon tank. I don't see any list of fish compatibility on your site as far as what other wrasses will get along with my six line. In your most educated opinion or if you have any facts to back it up, will any of the reef safe wrasses on your site interact peacefully with my already well established six line? Thanks for the help. I will buy at least a few so any help will be appreciated.

Freed,

Thank you for contacting us with your questions on reef safe wrasse compatibility. Yes, you should be able to add a few reef safe peaceful temperament wrasses to your tank with caution. We recommend observing the interaction of the new wrasses for the first few days.

You may wish to soak your feedings in a product like Garlic Xtreme to make sure all of your fish acclimate well. This product helps boost their immune system and aids in lowering stress. Wrasses are beautiful additions and fun to watch in any aquarium.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact our Technical Support Department at 1-800-334-3699 or via email at TechSupport@drsfostersmith.com and we will be happy to answer any other question(s) you may have about adding other wrasse to your aquarium.

Should I add new additions at night after lights out when the six line is asleep? Would this make for a more peaceful meeting between the six line and the new additions when the six line wakes up?

Can you deliver on Saturdays? Additional charge for sat delivery or same charge either way?

Freed,

Yes, turning your lights off during the acclimation process reduces stress and is highly recommended with all live items. You may wish to visit our PetEducation website where you will find instructions on acclimation procedures: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=16&cat=1987&articleid=2659


If upgrade options are available in your zip code, i.e. Saturday deliver/priority overnight there are additional fees.
