The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[Oceanreef]

In most cases it will work itself out, but there are some instances wherr a melanurus can bully other wrasses. Keep a watchful eye to see if it subsides.

Thank you! I’ll be watching close

Can you have multiple males of different wrasses in one tank?

Depends on the species involved, but oftentimes, yes.

Thanks. Most likely looking at Fairy and Flashers.

Not all fairy wrasses mix.

I appreciate the quick response. Any suggestions on pairing 3? Not looking to spend a ton but love the color of wrasses.

In a 100, maybe something like:

C. lubbocki
exquisitus
rubeus

Would you guys have a recomendation for 40 gal tank? I know the pink streaked but is there any others or any combinations? I have a skimmer rated for 200 gal that im going to use so as long as they get along.

Flashers are smaller and would work.

Hi! Well I decided to try another Earmuff Wrasse.....my second attempt....I got him last Saturday.....he was at my LFS for two weeks, he was eating like a pig, so I decided to take him home! I didn't QT him. So far so good! [emoji16]

Honestly, I’m not sure what species this is. I know it’s a flasher but that’s it.

Not a flasher. Looks like Cirrhilabrus Rubeus or Rubripinnis but I'll let @eatbreakfast or @evolved chime in.

It's either Cirrhilabrus rubeus or C. joanallenae. Are the ventral fins red or black?

Alright...who keeps snatching up the C. Earlei's on DD recently!
