Found a china wrasse and a leopard wrasse, they are about 3-3.5 inches and eating well, I want to put them in my 55 gallon tank but I have a cleaner wrasse. Can I have them all together in my 55 gallon?

You can have all 3 wrasses together, but be prepared for some possible initial aggression from your cleaner wrasse. Adding both wrasses at the same time will help disperse the cleaner wrasse's attention.

Can't speak to the cleaner wrasse but I have a china wrasse with four leopard wrasses and there's no aggression. Agree with saltyt about possibly adding both at the same time. 55 gallon is plenty of room.

This is really late but: I don't keep Cleaner wrasse, both Leopard and China wrasses need bigger tank for long term survival. I hope all three wrasses still alive.

I never got them. Cleaner wrasse is doing great though.
