Look at what I got at Petco today, for 37.88 after tax. (picture above)Next thing you know they’ll have blow our minds with Leonard’s wrasses and red tailed tamarins or something extreme.
One thing I will warn you of is that wrasses are very sensitive to Prazi and well copper. As far as copper, chelated is best (I use coppersafe). When using it with wrasses, bring it up to therputic levels slooooowly. Prazi, well all I can say is I'm 0 for 6 w/ wrasses and Prazi. If I have to use it, i use General Cure as it has Prazi and metro mixed a lower dosage. I don't want to scare you but as far as MY experience i will not use prazi, just GC for my wrasses. I'm cautious even with GC. Good luck, wrasses are awesome.I've had a flasher wrasse (ordered off divers den) in QT for 3-4 weeks. He's been through copper and is now undergoing prazi/metro treatment. There have been multiple times where it looks like I'm going to lose him...he will lie sideways on the bottom of the tank or in a PVC pipe and not move at all. won't eat either. probably 24 hours or so later, he's up and swimming around. looks perfectly healthy and attacks all food that goes into the tank. any ideas or anyone have similar experiences?
So I got distracted and left the top open on 1 section of my tank when I was feeding a couple days ago(I'm sure you can guess where this is going) and when I went in to check on my tank the next morning 2 of my wrasse had jumped. I lost a rubrimarginatus and tonozukai but my carpenter flasher stayed in the tank.
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions on 2 wrasse that will play nice together and with the flasher.
I've read it and while true to an extent my 2 did not follow the general rules laid out there. My margin was a pain in the butt and very aggressive while the tonzo was pretty docile. I have a 180 gallon so there is plenty of room for a couple wrasse to get along. I was really just looking for other peoples experiences with different varieties and what worked well together.Depends on the size of your tank but assume it is at least 75 or more given you had the rubrimarginatus and tonozukai in it. If you add another type of flasher wrasse you should be fine but introduce it in an acclimation box.
If you with to add two Cirrhilabrus again I suggest reading @evolved 's article here:
Cirrhilabrus Complexes: Inferiority Need Not Apply (1st Revision)
Cirrhilabrus, the “Fairy Wrasses”, are one of the most elegant, active, and colorful reef fish. Their appeal in a reef tank is common to many, but not all have a well-rounded understanding of the compatibility amongst them. Enter the notion of “complexes”: groupings of very closely related...www.reef2reef.com
Great info on compatibility. Lots of great wrasses out there! Good luck!
