Question about Wrasses in a 120

[Djtonton]

I currently have a smaller Solar Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis) in my 120.

I have the opportunity to get the following:

• Labouti Fairy Wrasse - Super Male XL

• Lineatus Fairy Wrasse - Super Male XL
• Scotts Fairy Wrasse - Super Male XL

Do you think its a bad idea to have (3) super males in the same tank? I tend to overfeed the tank so i dont think the feeding will be a problem and i have quite a bit of live rock so there are many hiding places. I would snag up an aclimation box and make sure to leave them in there for a few days. If its okay to get all 3 should i put them in seperate boxes?

Thanks in advance!!!

I have the following wrasse in my 120

Lineatus - Male
Flame - Male
Flame - Female
Leopard - Female
Linespot flasher - Male
Ear Muff

I added the flames and lineatus around the same time and even though the lineatus is the boss he doesn't do any damage. I would say that you'll be fine as long as you add them all at the same time.

And make sure you have a lid with those guys! They will jump!

I wouldn't keep them in the same acclimation box. You might be ok but if there's a chance one might get defensive.

I would not recommend the Scott's as they are aggressive and really don't play well with other fairy wrasses.

You will definitely need to keep a close eye on the Solorensis and Labouti's behavior as both can become aggressive (really depends on the individual fish). The Lineatus is normally very peaceful and may get bullied by the other two.

Having mulitple males in a tank isn't a problem necessarily; it's much more a matter of selecting the right males (species) to mix together. You've got some questionables in your mix and one to avoid (Scott's).
