Wrasses in qt compatibility question

[Kyle Sicard]

Hello,
I might be picking up Lineatus and Laboutei fairy wrasses tomorrow and i wanted to check if they will be okay together in QT for 4 weeks? The QT is a 15g and both wrasses are males. I know they are similar in terms of relationship with each other and I just want to double check that they will be okay in QT for a little while till they can graduate into the 150

I'd use an acclimation box.

I have one available, I'm mainly just trying to find out if they will be okay in QT. Keeping one of the wrasses confined to a acclimation box for 4 weeks seems unpleasant and I wouldn't want to do that. I'm just trying to find out if they will co-exist in the QT without major issues. I will def use a acclimation box at first but I would like that to only have to last a couple of days.

Maybe, maybe not. Male laboutis can be aggressive to other fairy wrasses, but sometimes are fine. Terrible answer, but just keep an eye on them.

You'll probably be okay, but you will need to be vigilant. At worst, use eggcrate to divide the QT into two.
