I currently have a male Carpenter Flasher wrasse. Beautiful fish, but he rarely “flashes”. If I were to add a female, would the male start to flash more? Will they get along together?

Problem would be most females turn male even with an existing male. I would suggest adding a male flasher of a different species. They would show off to each other without the battle two male carpenters would have.I currently have a male Carpenter Flasher wrasse. Beautiful fish, but he rarely “flashes”.

I would go for one other flasher wrasse OR a fairy wrasse would also help the flasher to flash a bit more!!Tank size is 4x2x2. Thanks for the redirect
Tank size in this case should be of help to you. They shouldn’t fight and it looks like you managed to get yourself an African Mccoskeri and a Carpenteri. So you managed to get two similar species but not two conspecifics. Those two should be just fine in your tank!Had ordered what I thought would be a male and female Carpenter flasher wrasse. I received what I believe are two males... Ive had these two in my 14 month old mixed reef 200 gal. display for about a week now. Both are eating. No aggression towards them from any other fish and they so far stick together. Wondering if Im going to have a fight down the road or if they can coexist in a tank this size. Thoughts?
