Wrasse Variant Compatibility

[litsoh]

I know that some wrasse won’t play nicely with others based on similarity/size/some other factors, does this also extend to regional variants? For example a multicolor lubbock’s and the orange backed variant, would they get along together since they vary in color?

If they are two males then most likely not since they are still the same species. Females will have a better chance of getting along but there is still the running risk of aggression towards each other. The larger the tank the better chances you have of them not being aggressive towards each other.
