Thanks. Never been into wrasses. This little guy is growing on me.

This little guy is what actually opened my eyes to the wrasse family. If you want color and movement in you tank it's a good choice. I have been doing a little reading and like any other fish you have to watch the capability between some of these species.

So far, my friend's has been a sweetie. I am just concerned for my pederson shrimp and pike blenny.

I have 2 peppermint shrimp, a pistol, a fire and a yellow goby. The Cori's doesn't care about them.

The pistol is about the size of my pinky nail.

Great! I might be adding one.

I assume they will eat nudis?

I have no idea to be honest. That would be a question for someone with more experience with these guys.

Thanks for the personal observation. The retail sites are pretty vague.

I agree, hard to find any quality information on the wrasse species. I think between @eatbreakfast experiance and this thread you might find your answers.

My Pink Streaked Wrasse is pretty awesome. Timid, but quite active.

Hi Ruby!

My preference as well. Now I'm torn...

I see she also does well in a much smaller tank.

Thanks HD and NY, looks like both eat nudis. Maybe a Valentine's gift? Hmmm

Hi Ruby!

Super cool fish, I have heard people mention these, are they called by other names?

Hum, get both! I won't judge! :D​

I have heard Pelvic Spot Wrasse. A model fish. Eats pests like a 6-Line, but bothers no one. No sand required. I have heard Possum Wrasses behave very similarly.

Ah thanks for the tip! I will check those out. I don't want a 6 line just for the sake of pests, hate to buy a fish I don't want.

Sitting in the mancave watching the KC game and watching my tank. I'm frustrated at my clowns, the bigger one is tormenting the small one enough that I need to make a decision on what to do with it. My wife lost her male a week ago, do I chance putting it in her tank and see if it does better there, take it back to the lfs or give them more time? The smaller one is getting chewed up pretty good. The larger one makes it a point to swim all the way to the other side of the tank to beat him up. Obviously they don't care about my no Bully policy. :mad:
