I guess I'm just fortunate. My LFS is not even a quarter mile away and has mccoskers wrasses there at all times for 25$. They get to be fat little fish too and eat really well
Where is this LFS??? I would love to a McCosker's when my 160G is up in running this summer.

You must not have any other wrasse because Mystery Wrasse is not what I would ever think can be describe as peaceful. Certainly not to other wrasse

What size tank and how did you introduce these guys so they play nice?

The cleaner and rose scale were from my 45 gallon. After three years I upgraded to a 220g and bought the others. I QTed them all together, and specifically looked for fish as small as possible since my QT tank is a 40g AIO.

The rose scale was the boss of my 45 gallon, he's probably 5-6" and a thick boy.

I added the new ones to the DT at the same time and the rose scale never really cared.

Later I added an emperor angel and he keeps the peace in the tank. When my yellow and purple tang start to get a little angry at one another, he steps in and grunts/chases them apart.

Thank you! Things I'll keep in mind when I get my 160G ready this summer. I really love wrasses and hope to have a few different varieties.
