Hello Everyone!

I currently have the following wrasses in my 150 gallon and I’m wanting to add 1 or 2 more wrasses.

I currently have the following in my tank.

moyeri
Christmas
Yellow tail tamarin
Red head solon
Yellow coris
Exquisite
Naoko
pintail

and I’m looking to possibly add one of the following

scotts
rosy scales
Rhomboids

Are there any other recommendations?

The Scottorum may become highly aggressive and we don’t recommend housing this species with other peaceful Cirrhilabrus. Rhomboidalis is a good choice and Rubrisquampinnis may also become rather aggressive so I’d remain cautious with them.

I agree with everything @i cant think said above. Rhomboid is going to be the best bet in terms of aggression. Only thing I will add is that Rhomboids can be on the timid side for fairies, so I would reccomend an acclimation box to keep it from getting bullied by the Pintail and Naoko immediately. Seen on several occasions a Rhomboidalis not recover after an initial blitz from existing wrasses.

I wouldn’t be as cautious on those two but instead the red head. I haven’t seen much aggression from naokos in my time in the hobby. Even in the LFS, we saw many more peaceful ones than we did aggressive/nasty specimens. However, I am aware that reputations are from the majority and not the minority.
