Wrasse Compatibility?

[Eienna]

Can multiple different fairy wrasses be happy in the same tank, or can I only pick one for a 90g? Also, I was thinking about a solo Bartlett's Anthias instead of a group of them. Is this OK? Or would a small group be at home in a 90?

You may be looking at a squabble with multiple over territory and feeding

Not so friendly with conspecifics, huh?

Here's a list I found with which fairy wrasse goes together

Problem is each fish has their own temperament which we can’t predict

Yes you can keep several fairies together. A common thing with these are how the Flashing they do is often thought of as Aggression. In reality it’s different and Flashing/Displaying is just them showing off to other males and showing that they’re boss. I have an article on this genus and it does cover three different things with compatibility. This is mixing males of the same species, males of the same complex and totally different species.

Thanks, everyone <3 As far as individuals having different personalities, that's the same with any fish. I appreciate all the thoughtful answers!

You also provided me with a perfect resource to figure out which ones I could get if I go with a 75g. Thank you!

I recommend getting a list and then go over to the Wrasse Lovers Thread as we can help with compatibility.

OK, new question, can one of the more gentle cirrhilabrus wrasses be kept with a radiant (halichoeres iridis)?

The majority of Cirrhilabrus can be kept with Halichoeres (Even Iridis). I have had mine in with several wrasses, some are notoriously peaceful and some had a reputation for being aggressive.
Fairy and Flasher Wrasses usually ignore genera that sleep in the sandbed.
