Planning on getting the following fish...
carpenter flasher wrasse
diamond tail flasher wrasse
blue flasher wrasse
yellow watchman goby
purple firefish

I have a 20 gallon QT, so was planning on getting 3 fish to start, but I’m not sure which 3. Shy fish first right? If so, would that be YWG, firefish and any one of the flasher wrasses?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Are you saying 3 is to many for the 20 gallon QT, or that it’s bad to add 2 wrasses after another wrasse has “established his turf” in the DT (i.e., better to add all wrasses at same time)?

No, its that I would add all three wrasse at same time to keep one from becoming to territorial, Plus fire fish can be shy. Giving it time to go through QT, then get established before the fast swining wrasse show up. Reminder those wrasses will need feed three times per day.

Good luck
