I have a Mccoskeri flasher wrasse in my 800 litres display tank. Would I be able to add another different flasher to the tank?

Yes. I have a big male Mccoskeri, with a smaller male Cyaneus that was added much later, in a 400 liter display. The Mccoskeri flashes every fish in my tank, including the smaller flasher, but there is no aggression.I have a Mccoskeri flasher wrasse in my 800 litres display tank.

Based on the chart I would have thought that mix would be okay, since even though rhomboids are less aggressive, they are still yellow. So if you add the rhomboid first I figured it would work?Labouti and naokoae are more agressive than the rhomboidalis, so unless the tank is several hundred gallons and the rhomboid is well established, I would recommend against that combo.
I agree with the others and think it would work just fine and that you could even add a few species of flasher.I have a Mccoskeri flasher wrasse in my 800 litres display tank. Would I be able to add another different flasher to the tank?

I've seen quite a few naokoae get quite belligerent, and labouti also can be pushy, whereas rhomboidalis is one of the more peaceful species in the genus. IME it would be hard-pressed to work out well for the rhomboid unless the rhomboid were added first and it were an exceptionally large tank or with a large number of other fairy or flasher wrasses.Based on the chart I would have thought that mix would be okay, since even though rhomboids are less aggressive, they are still yellow.

I just would have thought that, based on Hunter's chart, light orange and yellow would be compatible, and that the orange would just be at the top of the pecking order. So does hat mean that light orange would be completely out of the question with the greens? I was planning on doing an exquisite, hooded, and Solorensis in my 90g but now I think I may have to reconsider. Does size make a difference? I plan on adding the hooded and exquisite first and giving them time to settle in, and getting a smaller Solorensis. But I might have to reconsider?I've seen quite a few naokoae get quite belligerent, and labouti also can be pushy, whereas rhomboidalis is one of the more peaceful species in the genus.

I base it off of my own personal experiences. So can't say I am overly familiar with his chart, though I am aware of it.I just would have thought that, based on Hunter's chart, light orange and yellow would be compatible, and that the orange would just be at the top of the pecking order.

The 3 species you mention, I find the hooded is the most peaceful, followed by exquisitus, then solorensis, but all 3 are compatible.

My C. Efatensis
When I googled Cirhillabrus efatensis I came up empty. Is that a synonym for C. bathyphilus?
Beautiful fish....all of them!
Katoi can be pretty aggressive toward other fairies.I currently have a crescent tail and hooded wrasse. Would adding an eight line flasher, rhomboid, and katoi be okay?
Yup, male C. cf. cyanopleura.Is my wrasse a male ruby head?
the last few rhomboids from LA/DD have had swimbladder issues, i've tried the pea trick. i've even tried surgically but both never made it as they succumbed to the problems.
