Hi!
I'm currently dealing with a pretty nasty amount of amphipods in my Fluval Evo 13.5g tank. I believe they are starting to nip on my zoas. I'm going to start trying to cull their population. After some research, I came across the wrasse family of fish and how some of them are a great natural predator for the amphipods.
I currently only have a firefish in the tank, which might be a good reason why the amphipods are munching on my zoas. Not enough detritus!
After much research, I couldn't find a definite answer on what wrasses would fit well in my tank. I've been looking at the sixline wrasse, the pinkstreaked wrasse, a white banded pygmy wrasse, and tanaka's wrasse. I'm definitely open to other suggestions as well! I'd also like to stock the tank with another fish with the firefish and the new wrasse too. If I can't do that, no worries. Just figure I should get a tank mate for my firefish and upcoming wrasse.
