Currently have a 60g cube with one Wyoming white clown. Plan on stocking another clown and a blenny.



However, today saw a Golden Rhomboidalis Wrasse at a LFS. What a stunning fish. Mystery wrasse was my favorite wrasse but I think this specimen changed my mind. Anyone have experience with one? I would love to add it to my setup. LFS said I'd be fine but I know how that can be. I would even sacrifice the blenny and go with just the wrasse and clown pair.



Thoughts? Good or bad idea?



Thanks
 
That tank is on the small side for a rhomboid. With that few of fish and if there is plenty of open swimming space it could work.
 
Honestly, I would not recommend putting a rhomboid fairy wrasse in that size of a tank. We have two of them in our 300g tank (the largest is over 4") and they are very active swimmers.
 
Indeed, active swimmers and Jumpers.
Get a McCoskers wrasse instead.
