Wrasse Recomendations

[Luwe2008]

What wrasses would you recommend for a 200g Mixed Reef. I want to stay away from agressive wrasses that will not be able to co-exist with each other. Thanks guys!

Well, first, is your tank covered? Flasher wrasses are superb but need a cover with 1/4 inch holes.

Yes I have a screen top covering it.

I would say all flasher wrasses and some of the fairy wrasses. I only say some fairy wrasses becuase some are a little on the aggressive side like the red head solon fairy wrasse from what I have heard.

i have a yellowfin, lubbocks fairy, yellowflank, and a redvelvet fairy and they are fine together. i know they are nothing fancy but look great and add tons of movement.

The ones that are in the blue group e.g. C. solorensis, C. scottorum tend to be much more aggressive. But many fairies like those of M88A2 work well together.

We have an orange back fairy wrasse in our tank, and we tried to pair him with a red headed solon wrasse... yea that didn't work out so well... Now the orange back is the only wrasse in the tank, permanently
