Hey guys like the title says can two blue star leopard wrasse's be okay in the same tank, or will they show aggression to each other? I have had one in my tank for about 1 year now. I would like to add another but afraid it may be to late?

Depends. How big is the tank and is the one you have had for awhile a male? How big is the current fish and how big is the fish you plan to add?Hey guys like the title says can two blue star leopard wrasse's be okay in the same tank, or will they show aggression to each other?

My current fish is female, i have a 70-gallon red sea max e 260 . I have plenty of rockwork for hiding, and i would say the new fish would be half the size. My current wrasse shows 0 interest in any other fish in the aquarium and just likes to swim the currents and peck the rocks.Depends. How big is the tank and is the one you have had for awhile a male?

You’ll be fine adding another. I gotta tell you though that leopard wrasse get large. I’ve seen a huge Melagaris at my LFS that looks too big for a 120 gallon. They are slow growers tho.My current fish is female, i have a 70-gallon red sea max e 260 . I have plenty of rockwork for hiding, and i would say the new fish would be half the size.

Thats good to know, I do intend to upgrade my tank to a 130, but that will not be for at least 3 years. I am also someone that likes to keep my fish and not just switch them out if they get to big. I am more of a fish guy than a coral guy.You’ll be fine adding another. I gotta tell you though that leopard wrasse get large.

That’s good. Like I said before they are really slow growers (unless one becomes a male and then idk what happens). I’ve had one for 6 months and I don’t thinks it’s grown at all.Thats good to know, I do intend to upgrade my tank to a 130, but that will not be for at least 3 years.
