Can I ask why? They can be a pain and pick on other fish. If your looking for a Wrasse because of their predatory eating of pests there are several other wrasses are better looking and better behaved. Although there are always exceptions both good and bad.

I need a Wrasse to eat Flatworms. What do you guys recommend?
Hey John, All I can say is that I had,probably still have, flatworms. I added a yellow coris wrasse and had an existing blue spotted puffer. I'e never observed anyone eating the flatworms, but the flatworms aren't around in crazy numbers anymore.

Thanks ! I'm going to stock at Blake's in Meriden tonight to see what he has. I think I read something about a Melaranus (sp?) wrasse eating them.

Get a cover if you don't have one. My two wrasses are both jumpers.

The six line is an excellent fish if you happen to get one that isn’t super aggressive. They can be a blast to watch as they are all over the place and almost always visible and in action.

There is a user on here called Evolved who has awesome knowledge on wrasses and has written many excellent articles on them. @evolved

Wow - all good info for you . I have a few smaller Fairy wrasses and a pretty large beautiful Melanoranus ( spell?) that all get along. They do the job against pests - but I have a Blue throat and a Goldrim tang so they don't get aggressive.
