Calling on all my Coris Wrasse owners. Anyone ever try to pair them? Or just end up being a bloodbath? Looking to attempt with two Red Coris, from juvi.

Coris wrasses by nature do not form bonds or pairs because they are pelagic spawners. Don't try to pair them, it doesn't end well for those that have tried. Eventually both of those juvies will become male and will fight to the death. Keep just one.Calling on all my Coris Wrasse owners. Anyone ever try to pair them? Or just end up being a bloodbath?

This is what I was looking for. I figured there was a reason. Thank you!Coris wrasses by nature do not form bonds or pairs because they are pelagic spawners.

Actually, there are already many transitional males in the harem. The females in the harem disperse aggression from the “alpha” male or what we sometimes call Terminal Male or Super Male. This reduces any aggression the transitional males will get from the females.Yup, most Wrasses in the wild form harems and when the male dies off the largest female will eventually transition to male and take over.
