Right now I have a McCosker Flasher Wrasse. I'm in the process of upgrading tanks to a 93 gallon, albeit very slowly. I'd like to get a Fairy Wrasse when I am ready to add additional fish. Big question I have is compatibility. The Fairies I like include:
- Exquisite Wrasse
- Flame Wrasse
- Red Velvet Wrasse
Would any of those wrasse be compatible with a McCosker? If not, are there others I should consider? To complicate it further, I also have a Helfrichi Firefish and so any additional wrasse would need to be compatible with that fish too.

thanks for the help.

All those should be fine since the mcC is there first. They say red velvets can be aggressive to new comers, I haven't yet had one.
 
The red velvet is the only one I would be concerned about, and even he may be fine. Just use a social acclimation box for introduction.

I've had all except the flame in the same tank and they got along with no aggression. The mccoskers was even added last but with an acclimation box.
 
Should be fine if added more than one at a time, IMO
 
Thanks everyone for all the info. Red Velvet is off the list. Now the question is whether I just go with an Exquisite or Exquisite + Flame. Decisions, decisions.
