Keeping multiple wrasse together

[detguy123]

well the whpfins and tonos are knwon to be one of the more aggressive fairys out there i know first hand...but if you are looking for a red fairy the longfins are nice... i like the joanallene better than the rubriventralis but they are harder to find..the conde's are nice and i have always liked the very cheap rubripinis...the ones coming out of Sulawesi are very nice...bright blue throats..i see those go for 20-30 bucks and very bright plus they hold thier colors very well

Ive got

1 Yellow Coris (BIG MALE)
1 Lineatus (MALE - CITY BUS SIZED)
1 Golden Rhomboid (MEDIUM-LARGE MALE)
1 Hawaiian Flame (LARGE SUPERMALE)
1 Hawaiian Flame (MEDIUM FEMALE)
1 Lubbocks (SMALL MALE)

and had another small female flame...jumped...punished, and fed to the rhyzo.

This was all in a 48" x 24" x 12" 60 gallon with no issues at all.

My male Melanurus Wrasse will not allow any other wrasse in the tank (65 gallon). It did not kill outright but would chase & pester my Yellow Coris & Carpenter Wrasse till they both jumped out of the tank who were in the tank first for months before I added him. Later I brought a Mystery Wrasse, that was the same size, and he would force it into the rocks and keep him from eating till it eventually died. I could not catch either one to stop the situation. I have wised up and realized that I can have one beautiful wrasse who will be the King of the Castle as far as wrasses are concerned. But a female Clown Fish does keep him in line when he gets to close to her turf. Fun to watch and I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.

It depends on the size of tank and other inhabitants.
Gomphosus will eat small elongated fish and be aggressive to other wrasses, Thalassoma will be aggressive to other wrasses and both will be aggressive to other small and peaceful fish.
