I recently had a chance to buy a Paddlefin Wrasse. A large colored one. I have never owned a Wrasse and this was not my first
choice for one. I paid $60 for a 6" Paddle Fin Wrasse. He is in a 120g 4x2 with dwarf angels, some triggers and smaller damsels and chromis. Hes from a much bigger tank than mine. My rock work is setup for the Triggers. The Wrasse swims alot. He has found a hiding spot somewhere. Are there things I can do to be sure he is happy? They kind of swim weird. Just throwing themselves around the tank. Hard to get used to. I have a lot of rock work and there is room to swim. I have more than some people have in the few videos I have seem of Paddlefin Wrasses.

Having a lot of rock for him to swim in and out of is fine. Do you have a lid on your tank? They are jumpers.
