I've kept all of the wrasses on your list. My suggestion is to drop the naokoae, all the rest would be fine together. In a tank of your size the naokoae could become problematic towards the rhomboidalis and attenuatus. Also, just wanted to mention that if you do get the earmuff he won't bother the chrysus or any other wrasse. My earmuff is a gentle giant towards his tankmates... but he is a destroyer of inverts.Hello everyone. I posted a fish stocking thread last night and I’ve gotten a lot of feedback. Someone mentioned I should talk with the people of The Wrasse Lover’s Thread, so here I am. I have some wrasses I have in mind that I want to keep, but idk how well they will all do together. The tank is 4’, and 91 gallons. Hope you guys can help me out a little.
So in mind I have these:
Halichoeres melasmapomus - (Earmuff Wrasse)
Halichoeres chrysus - (Yellow Coris Wrasse)
Paracheilinus attenautus - (Diamond Tail Flasher Wrasse)
Cirrhilabrus naokoae - (Naoko Fairy Wrasse)
Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis - (Golden Rhomboid Wrasse -supermale-)
Macropharyngodon meleagris - (Leopard Wrasse -female-)
That was my original wrasse plan. Now after some suggestions regarding the wrasses and a little more thinking, I’ve cut the Halichoeres crysus, and thinking of cutting the Macropharyngodon meleagris. What do you guys think? Tips? Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you (I know the Halichoeres and the Macropharyngodon like to burrow in the sand to sleep, is this enough sand?:
This is the sand around parts of the tank, (3“or 4”) with some areas with less, being 2” to around 5” or 6”).
If you would like to know what tank mates I am planning on adding to the tank with the wrasse, and if anyone wants to help out even more by commenting some thoughts and ideas to my fish stocking thread, feel free to check it out here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/is-this-too-much-fish-stocking.938494/
P.S. I just recently lost my attenuatus so if you come across a vendor that can source these please let us know
