So, I know recently I have been asking A LOT about different wrasses but, this is just a general one for fairy, flasher, leopards ect..
Why does it say “One male per tank” on a lot of the more peaceful wrasse, i.e. Cirrhilabrus Lubbocki? If you had an 8’ tank or something like that, wouldn’t there be enough room for Atleast 10-15 wrasse (say, 8-14 females and 2-3 males), in the wild these species of fish dont just keep to the one male rule, it’s usually multiple males/transitional males, multiple females and 1 big “boss” male that we call the super male. Has anyone tried to do something like this where there is multiple males to almost twice as many females?
Here’s just a photo I found of a harem of Paracheilinus filamentosus (Filamented flasher wrasse).
Here’s another photo I found of a Thalassoma lucasanum (Cortez rainbow wrasse) harem.
