Hi All, I am interested in getting 4-5 flasher wrasses for my tank. I thought about 2 pairs so the males will flash a lot for their ladies...but wondered if I can get 4-5 different males and get them to flash each other. I had a filamented and he never flashed. If I do decide to go the pair route where is the best place to get a pair?? What pairs would get along best? What 4-5 types would get along okay? Currently the only wrasse in the tank is a leopard wrasse.

how big is the tank?

if big enough, I'll go with a few males but add them all at the same time. some of the more common ones are below. you should be alright with them as long as the tank is big enough and you find different size males. I currently have 3 Yellow fins, 1 McKoskers, 3 Filamented, and 1 Attenuatus. you can see a vid of my tank with all of the wrasses swimming around on my signature. :)
