Hi there,
I have a pair of Mandarins currently growing up in a small 15g loaded with copepods. Once they get larger, they will move into a 60g penninsula with two clowns and a coral beauty. I've been interested in adding an active fish like a Wrasse and the yellow coris wrasse is very striking to me. I understand this genus of Wrasse likes to feed on copepods, so I'm wondering if I can get a consensus on whether or not the Wrasse would provide too much competition for pods with the Mandarin pair?
I'll add that I replenish pods monthly, feed phyto daily and also feed the fish 4+ times a day, frozen LRS morning and night, pellets at lunch time, then various reef nutrition snacks throughout the day like ROE, Brine shrimp, Mysis etc
Let me know what you think!
