Wrasse suggestions

[kalarr]

I'm looking to add a bit of color to my tank and have been looking into a wrasse or anthias. My tank is a 55g with a clown, bangaii, and pj cardinal in it. I'm planning on adding a diamond watchmen goby in the future.

Anyone have a suggestion for a wrasse or anthias that has nice color and would be able to get along with these fish?

Thanks for the help!

I would suggest a Red Head Solon Wrasse. Colorful, active swimmer, not aggressive. It would do well in your 55 gallon.

Red Solon is a good choice. Active and easy to keep. I like melanarus and mystery wrasses. I find flasher wrasses boring. I also really liked my orange back flasher wrasse. Pretty and good personality.

My brother loves his six line. I've never had one, but I do like the way they look and they keep pests at bay.

Tri-color Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)

Sixline for sure.

Sixline for sure.

Not a good idea. They can be a royal PITA.

I like the McCosker's wrasse

I'm a big fan of my Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse. While certainly not the most stunning wrasse out there, it's very hardy and not aggressive so if I want to add another wrasse later my options are still very open.

This looks like the type of fish I'm looking for to add to the tank. From research online it seems like it will be a nice fit. Thanks for the suggestion everyone!

Eh, careful; rubrisquammis is actually one of the more aggressive Cirrhilabrus and doesn't always mix well with others.
