Compatibly question....Help!!!!

[fredjr]

Hi, I have a few fish questions about some fish That I'm thinking about adding. My current stock list is the following:
2 nice size clowns
pistol shrimp
Ruby headed wrasse
Kole Tang
Fire shrimp
Six line wrasse
coral beauty angle fish
purple lobster
and some snails and 2 emerald crab.

This is what I would like to add
Ruby Longfin Fairy Wrasse but not sure if there would be a problem between it and the Ruby headed wrasse. The other fish I'm thinking about is a nice size midas blenny.
All the fish I have get along great. I had a yellow watchman gobie but for some reason the kole tang would NOT let it live in peace so no more yellow watchman.

Possibly. How big is the tank?

Mixing fairy wrasses can be hit or miss.
Here's a chart from another page on this forum.
Both those wrasses are of intermediate aggressiveness with other fairy wrasses.
They are not from the same subgroup (which is good).
Probably should be ok to have them together, if the tank is the right size.
Always a good idea to put the new one in an acclimation box for a couple of days.

Midas blenny should be ok.
Except for maybe the sixline wrasse might harass it, because they are often jerks to everyone.

It's a RedSea reefer 350. Total gal is 91and 73 display.

Look at the chart that. @rkpetersen posted. As he said, possibly, but not a 100% guarantee.

So far I have had no problems at all with the six line. he was the last one in the tank.

That's why. But when you now add more fish, it might turn into a demon. Very common occurrence.

I guess I could move him the the sump for a few day and add him back in later and see if that would work.

How long has the tank been established?

How long has the tank been established?

3 yrs. my present fish stock is about 2 year old. All of the fish are from another tank. Not form LFS.

I’m shocked the Kole Tang allowed the Angel to live

No problem with them at all. Even from day one.
