I'd like to keep two halchoeres wrasses in QT. A halichoeres chrysus (yellow coris wrasse) and a halichoeres timorensis (orange dashed wrasse). Can it be done without them battling in such a small space?

You'd probably be okay with those two together, but a 15 could still be pushing it. That's just not much tank if things go wrong.I was wondering the same thing. I'm looking for juvenile or at least young female H. biocellatus and H chrysus and QT is 15gal.
10 gallon QT. Timor is about 2". I have 1 container of sand but haven't seen him/her use it.How big is your QT?
If they're both small (<2"), then you might be able to do it - but also recognize that water quality could degrade somewhat quickly. It'll take extra attention from you.10 gallon QT. Timor is about 2". I have 1 container of sand but haven't seen him/her use it.
If you're experienced in QT and ready to keep an eye on things, it will help a bunch!Thank you evolved. It is kind of what I figured. I have kept both of these wrasses together before but in a much larger tank. Never even a hint of an issue between them but in small confines one never knows for certain.
Thanks for the advice @evolved. I'm trying to get the tank nice and stocked waiting for that lineatus or rhomboid to come around.If they're both small (<2"), then you might be able to do it - but also recognize that water quality could degrade somewhat quickly. It'll take extra attention from you.
