Hi - New to having a tank and I have a question.

Tank has been up and running for about 6 weeks. Just got a Scott's wrasse and was wondering if I can keep any other wrasse with it? I also have two clowns, a goby and a helfrich firefish.

Thank you in advance for any help.
 

i cant think

it depends, what wrasse are you wanting to keep (Just the genus will be fine, or the species part too)

It's more of a general question, not got as far as which ones specifically.

Also the scotts will not leave the Bella goby alone. I read they are normally peaceful but he's quite aggressive to just that one fish. Is this normal?

Some wrasse won’t be able to go in with him unless they’re added in before he gets established but also depends on the species of wrasse you want to add

They arent known to go after fish that aren’t a similar species to them, the wrasse you need to be cautious of when housing together are wrasse with the same body shapes (such as flame wrasse/C. jordani)
