Mr Bully. Especially to my rosefacia. Have some more wrasse coming in next week to hopefully spread out the aggression a bit more.

They are beautiful. I had to get rid of mine as it was going after my jordani and that was a big no no.

I may get a Mystery wrasse. I don’t have docile wrasse in my tank anymore others than a few fairly large wrasse. Having a small Mystery wrasse may be fine. They are so beautiful.

Yes. They may do well in a long large tank.

Nice fish! The Bluestar is giving off aquatic mini zebra vibes!

One of the wrasses I would consider from Pseudocheilinops, maybe I’ll have one with my gobies in that nano.

That’s a gorgeous specimen you have. Be cautious with the other wrasses you add as if they’re too delicate they are likely to succumb to the aggression.

Female of C. rubripinnis Appears possible. So if I get another would one likely become male?

Darn it so finding the chart this one is a genetic bully in the red aggressive category.

So I guess adding more timid wrasses would be certain demise.

It really depends on how large your tank is. In my tank (320 gal) they were fine. I had a lot of Fairy and Flasher wrasses in my tank together.

 

[kyreefville]

54 gallon lots of rock so yah there’s that

Who is everyone using to source their less common wrasses from these days? QT vendor's highly preferred.

Any reef safe recommendations for a 50 lagoon? 30"Lx24"W floor space. Currently have a yellow banded Possum, I was thinking of adding a lunatus complex or Lubbock. Any other suggestions?

Drreef is what I've seen others mention.

Agree great vendor, but does he get the more rare ones?

You can email TSM and tell them what you are looking for

Those are two stunning wrasses. My Exquisitus has yet to colour up fully but I’m hoping it looks like yours eventually.

That splendens looks lonely, I think you need another 3 Pencils ;)

Oh and, you know my small nano…
Well, I changed it around a bit and now have a proper saltwater nano (sand will come next week). But, what wrasse do we think I should add :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Possibly a Wetmorella? Or get a 3rd Pink Streak? Hm…
