[Joseqb77]

Can I have a Melanarus wrasse a yellow wrasse and red Coris wrasse in the same tank 90 gallon

I wouldn't put a red coris in there... they get big and start flippin stuff

the other two should be okay provided they are not both males

There are a lot that go by that name and they are mislabeled.

Thalassoma sp. : hard no

H. ornatissimus is probably more spicey then H. claudia (claudia is more peaceful) but you need to get the right I.D.

The melenarus and "christmas wrasses" look similar so they might not work long term. I have had to remove Halichoeres wrasses before for not getting along once they were out of juvi stage.

All three of the wrasses you want are in the genus Halichoeres, so if you introduce them at different times there will definitely be fighting. Do it all at once for the best chance of success.

You can definitely have a bunch of wrasse in a 90g if that is what you want. Just choose wisely a compatible mix.

Mixing Halichoeres with small fairys or flashers or leopard wrasses will generally work.
