Mixing Wrasse

[Kevin34]

what is the rule for this? I have a sixline now that I am trying to catch. he has been bullying my jawfish lately so he has to go. I wanted to replace him with a mystery wrasse and a solar wrasse. Would these two be compatable together? tank is a 125.

The mystery wrasse will be just as mean as your sixline. If not more mean.

I think the general rule would work fine.
1. shy/fragile/ etc fish goes in first
2. semi
3. meaner fish last.

I have about 3 blue flasher, 2 leopard, another flasher in the same tank. introducing the same sp at the same time is a good idea. ive only last 1 leopard only due another leopard from the same sp killing it which is no longer in my tank.

They can get nasty. And they are not shrimp safe I know for sure.

Leopards, if you can keep them alive, and yellow (coris some call them) wrasses are very reef safe. Actually good hunters of reef pests as well as pods.
