Yes, but usually only aggressive towards other wrasses. Typically outright incompatible.@evolved, the whip fin fairies are quite aggressive right?
As the "new guy", that's expected to some degree. It will be several weeks until you see the "new guy's" true temperament.At the moment it's the new fish, so it's taking quite a bit of stick from a large male orangeback and tomini tang.
I wouldn't; now or ever.If I wanted to add a trio of McCoskers would it be better to add them now. Or is it still too risky? 75g tank.
The tables are likely to turn here, and this fish is likely to be the subject of the filamentosus' aggression.Large orangeback fairy
It should be fine. Periodically, specimens of H. chrysotaenia can be bossy to other wrasses, but I don't see that being an issue in that size tank.@eatbreakfast , @evolved I currently have an H. melasmapomus and H. biocellatus in my tank (72x24). I have access to a fairly large H. chrysotaenia which is one of my favorite Halichoeres wrasses. The current two get along fine. Do you think the Vrolik's would be ok to add(of course with the use of a social acclimation box)?
Other tankmates are a CBB, C. jordani, C. laboutei, P. flavianalis, M. geofroyi. Planing to add several other Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus in the future.
That should be fine, though definitely use a social acclimation box, as established melanarus wrasses can assert their dominance toward other wrasses.Can I put a h. Iridis with a c. timminckii and a h. melanarus

I had one made from an acrylic shop. Elite aquatics is good. Even the critter keepers from most pet shops will work.What acclimation box do you use? I've been looking at the elite aquatics one

Agree; both of those combinations should be okay.It should be fine. Periodically, specimens of H. chrysotaenia can be bossy to other wrasses, but I don't see that being an issue in that size tank.
