I've currently got this stocking list in a standard 72x18, 125g

- 2 Ocellaris Clowns
- 1 Pintail Fairy Wrasse
- 1 Midas Blenny
- 1 Lawnmower Blenny
- 1 Bangaii Cardinal
- 1 YWG/Pistol
- 1 Diamond Goby
- 1 Coral Beauty
- 1 Blue Tang (very small)

I'm looking to add maybe 2 or 3 more wrasses and possibly a Mandarin or another bottom/cave dwelling fish and was looking for some suggestions that would still keep the peace. I love the Naoko Wrasse but hear they are hit or miss with aggression. Earmuffs are very cool as well.
 
While Naoko's can be territorial with other fairy wrasses, it should be fine with other kinds. A yellow corris wrassse could be one you can place with a Naoko's. In a 125 gallon, you should be comletely fine. I have a blue-sided fairy wrasse and as yellow corris in my 90 gallon. Another good one and my favorite is the Timor wrasse. I did have this one with my yellow corris wrasse with no issues.
 
Really enjoy pintail wrasse in mine, as well as canary wrasse. 6 line is enjoyable as well.
 
i have a soft spot for leopard wrasses. find one that is healthy and eating in the store and they arent hard to keep. just be wary a lot come in in bad shape
 
Carpenter’s wrasse is very pretty and chill but can get bullied. My bluehead fairy wrasse is very chill also and larger than the carpenter. Yellow Coris might be worth a look also. The one I have is chill.

Blue throat fairy wrasses are gorgeous. I lost mine when it jumped.

I now have a lid and got an exquisite fairy wrasse which i expect to color up as it matures. Still a beautiful fish but not as colorful as pictures I saw.

I have a tricolor fairy too and he likes to chase everyone.
