Ornate wrasse with melanurus wrasse?

[Slocke]

that is something i was thinking about, picking up a Flame Hawk for the worms and then i dont have to worry about them getting along as much. the hawk is a cool fish and pretty. once they get bigger they do pick at the worms some also... thx you . given me a bit to think about.

I warn you that I’ve had issues with hawkfish. They have killed my gobies and chased other fish.

I agree with @Slocke The flame hawk can be very aggressive and pick on docile wrasses.

I wouldn’t keep a H. melanurus with an ornate but not saying it can work but very risky. Definitely wouldn’t keep a Thalassoma with any of your other choices of wrasse.

really? iv had them in most of my tanks including this one until he vanished. sort of liked that fish to. had him a few. iv never had problems with them. my tomini would pick on him. but yes they are a simi aggressive.
