After my frustration with Anthias (only 2 survived out of 8), I am rethinking my fish plan towards wrasses instead of having a large group of Dispar Anthias. I wanted to run my thoughts by the experts to see opinions:
Tank setup:
150 gallon display (5'x2'x2'), 55 gallon display refugium, 75 gallon sump (tons of pods)
Current Fish:
Solonensis fairy wrasse
Kole Tang
2 Dispar Anthias
(I also have a coral beauty angel and a occelaris clown in the display refugium)
I would like to add several fairy wrasses and , maybe, a leopard wrasse to this tank, but am worried about aggression from the solonensis, since it has been on its own in the tank for a while. Are there any fairies and a leopard that would be more or less successful in this situation? I know to avoid the "complex" closest to the Solonensis. Also, Would it be better to add one at a time in an acclimation box, or several at once without an acclimation box? (or should I get multiple acclimation boxes to handle adding multiple fairies at a time?). If I decide on the leopard, would you recommend adding it before or after the fairies?
Thanks so much.
