Currently have a shallow 100g tank (6 foot long) with this stocking:


Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis)
Purple firefish
Midas blenny
Mandarin
Banggai cardinal
Pair of false perculas
Bellus angelfish
Lyretail Anthias
Green/blue chromis


I'm looking to add a few more fish to complete the stocking list. Specifically I want to add some more wrasses. I wanted to add a melanarus wrasse and a red-lined wrasse. Also looking to potentially add a flasher wrasse.


I guess my question is whether or not the melanarus, red-lined, flasher, and fairy wrasse will get along. My plan is to add all the new wrasses together, hoping that they will get along and that the existing fairy wrasse wont get aggressive.
 
Compatibility wise, you'd be fine, but I'd be mindful of the bioload on the tank.

Also, it is possible a Halichoeres wrasse might outcompete your Mandarin for pods.

I concur. Although I am not as concerned about the melanurus outcompeting the mandarin in a 100g tank.
