When I set up my tank I told myself many times I would never get a wrasse. I just never liked how they looked, thought they were boring, knew they were aggressive, and just really disliked them in general. Well, two days ago I was looking at my local Petco just for fun and what did I see but not some of the most gorgeous fish, a group of Lubbocks fairy wrasses. I knew fairy wrasses are peaceful and easy going fish which is exactly the kind of fish I was looking for, they'll eat any pests I have, and their low price just called me to get one. So I did.
It is now my favorite fish in the tank, constantly cruising around and curiously looking at me with it's independently moving eyes. It's such a charming individual that I would love to add another. So here's my question, are you able to add multiple fairy wrasses, and if I add one more of this species will it pair off? I read somewhere they're best kept in pairs but I know wrasses can be aggressive towards conspecifics. Or what about adding another of a different species? What do y'all recommend?
