Mystery Wrasse Compatibility

kingfisherfleshy · Mar 25, 2011

Hey guys, right now in my 125g tank I have a couple wrasses.

1 harlequin tusk (2 1/2")
1 mystery ("")
1 male flasher wrasse

I fear the male flasher may have gone the way of the dodo. It was an impulse buy by a friend. I am in the process of trying to remove the tusk, after that, I would like a couple more wrasses, but feel at this point that fairy wrasses probably cant make it with the mystery. Any reef safe suggestions wrasse wise that can keep up with the mystery? Thanks.

I had mine with a melanarus & a leopard wrasse with no problems

What did you feed the leopard wrasse? How big was your tank?

This is a 125g (six footer).

The leopard wrasse would eat pods and they were in my 180. Unfortunately, I lost the melanarus & leopard wrasse after 6 months due to a stuck float valve which dosed enough kalk for a huge pH swing.

Hmm. I would just be worried about getting a pod eater in my 125g, I could probably get away with it, but I would still be sketched out.

Guess I am looking for some other fish along the same lines as a melanarus, but not that exact fish. My brother has one and I wouldnt want him to think I was copying him!
