I think some of them, especially the kind that bury themselves like the Melanurus, tend to get really stressed when being added to a new tank. IMO if they make it through that period they are generally hardy. But at the same time Wrasse's are also known to have intestinal parasites. So it's really hard to know. I know you said you can't quarantine but it really does not take more then a 10 gallon tank to quarantine. At the very least I would always quarantine Wrasse's and treat for 2 weeks with Prazo Pro to eliminate internal parasites. I think this time also gives them time to settle down and adjust. Often times they are yanked from the ocean, go to a distributor for a day or so, then to the store, then to you, and several planes trains and automobiles in the middle. Time to settle down and actually eat is good.</p></blockquote><p></p>
