Which wrasses do you keep together

[kkiel02]

I now only have my leopard and lubbocks fairy wrasse. I had a trio of pencil wrasses and 3 different fairy wrasses but my Lubbocks went postal on them. He also killed my black leopard I almost forgot about...

375 gallons and he can't have more than one roommate.

 

[Mike&Terry]

Our current list:
(1) male Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis
(1) male Lineatus Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus lineatus
(1) male Flame Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus jordani
(2) Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse – Cirrhi labrus rhomboidalis (2 females)
(3) Eightline Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus octotaenia (1 male, 2 females)
(2) Bell’s Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus bellae
(3) Blue Star Leopard Wrasse - Macropharyngodon bipartitus (1 male, 2 females)
(1) female Kuiter’s Leopard Wrasse – Macropharyngodon kuiteri

After the 6-line died, I have added yellow coris and mystery wrasse. They get along real nice. Plan to add more wrasse, maybe leopard and flame wrasses.

My Mystery Wrasse actually killed my trio of Flame Wrasse within 2 days of adding them to my old 150 sps display.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Did you use an acclimation box?

 

[Aquaph8]

Terry, I knew right when Brad said it. Congrats on an amazing fish.

Mystery wrasses and sixlines often dont mix well with fairy and flashers.

Obviously. Lol I kept them with flame wrasse in the past with no problem. The fairy wrasse need to be added first is what I've learned.

So you think I would have problem if I add a flame wrasse after I already have a mystery.

I think even if you added the flame first there would still be a good chance the mystery would kill it in the long run. I find it best to avoid mysterys with fairys/ flashers

Thanks Brett. I am so excited and at the same time very nervous. I just hope all goes well. When he's ready to go into the tank, I think I will leave him in the acclimation box for a longer period of time. Our teenage Lineatus has raging hormones right now and our Rubrisquamis likes to let everyone know he's in charge. Neither of them are really aggressive, but you never know how they might react to a new fish. If they look to be a problem, I may send them to the refugium for a while to allow the Earlie some time to get established.

Our first Lineatus was Mr. Mellow... It is amazing how different their personalities can be.

 

[Aquaph8]

I agree, the acclimation boxes help but you never know until you let them out. My rubripinnis was out for blood when I let the eightline out. Earlei is on my list but I'm not sure it'll ever happen, they're more and more tempting every time I see them available.
