Do you guys see any problems adding this trio of macropharyngodon? Would be buying them all at once.

Anyone?

 

[mattzang]

Anyone?

i forget which, but there's a leopard wrasse that doesn't play well with other leopards.. can't remember which one, though.. but i bet there's someone out there that does..

I thought of the more common ones it was the Ornate that can be aggressive.

Anyone?

I’ve had all three together, no issues

An established ornate can be a little aggressive to other leopards added after them, but all 3 being added simultaneously is fine.

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

That's Cirrhilabrus cyanogularis.
Timor wrasse likely refers to Halichoeres timorensis.

Speaking of.....

Saw this at the aquarium store. Labeled as sailfin wrasse. Sorry for bad photo. Also saw what they called a Timor wrasse. Any info on them?

Love my Timor, great personality and very peaceful

So debating a h. biocellatus.. but think I'm out of room with four (c. Rubeus, c. Isoceles, c. Exquisitus, m. Bipartitus) plus others in a 48 x 18 x 16 already.. Wish I had room to get another tank haha.

X2....I had all three together along with a few others and the male Ornate was the most dominant. In a large enough tank it shouldn’t be an issue.

It's a 200 gal tank

Yeah, I wouldn't fret much. All together is definitely best, though, if possible.

And they just arrived. [emoji846]

I figured here's a good place to show mine off.

How big is yours? How long have you had him?

 

[Seanislav]

I've had mine for nearly a year now, and she's probably about 3 to 3.5 inches. Eats like a pig and cohabitates with a full grown H. melanurus and other assorted wrasses in a 300gal peninsula.

 

[Seanislav]

Another shot of my timorensis and a couple of some of the others who keep her moving.

 

[whitelightning77]

The ornatus and the meleagris hanging out. The bipartus made an appearance briefly but it was getting a beating from the biocellatus and the negrosensis. The biocellatus and negrosensis have been placed in the refugium for now. They will probably decimate my pod population down there, but ohh well. Hopefully the bipartus, ornatus and meleagris will settle in in the next few weeks and the other two from the sump can be placed in again.

Welcome the new trio. [emoji846]
