Hello all,
I lost a tang today and other than my yellow tang, which is very hardy, I'm thinking about moving on from buying another tang. I've been beginning to research wrasses and it appears that fairy wrasses might be the best for a reef tank. I already have a well established leopard wrasse, who has survived a battle with marine velvet in the tank many months ago(was my only survivor and yes he was removed and treated for 70 days before going back into the main display) So I'm attached to my leopard wrasse and want other wrasses that will get long with the one I have already.
Since the outbreak, I've added 2 clowns, yellow tang, cleaner goby and a foxface. The other chocolate was added too but was found dead today
I'm not going to add anymore fish until I can figure out what happened to my chocolate tang (he didn't have any spots and was eating and acting normal even last night. I did notice the cleaner goby cleaning the tang a few times, but I didn't see anything as far as spots or dust, ect. The tang had been in quarantine and was treated with cupermine and prazipro months ago. He had been in the main display for about 4 months, so not sure what's going on.
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for wrasses of any type that wont jump and wont eat corals or snails. I do have a sand bed. My leopard sleeps in it every night. There just seems to be so many wrasses, I'm looking from others who have multiple wrasses in one tank. Please no 6 lines. I've done enough research to know I don't want one of those.
thanks
Mike
