So, I'm upgrading my 90g to a 125g. I have a medium(~3") sized mystery wrasse currently. What are my chances for success if I add a couple of other wrasses(Sea grass, scott's fairy) to the fold at the same time that I add my mystery to the new aquarium, so essentially they'll all be new? Is there a decent chance at compatibility, or not worth the risk?
 
Don't do it. My mystery was very aggressive to my established wrasses. The mystery has hence been relocated to my refugium

Do you kno what sore or website where I can buy a mystery wrasse?
 
My lfs ordered it for me, but I've seen it on liveaquaria.com, and on their diver's den fairly often.
 
Hmmmm I think your question is similar to mine and has perhaps been answered now. Not the answer I was hoping for lol but best to know now
 
I kept a mystery wrasse with fairy wrasses, melanurus, and a harlequin tusk in a 180 years ago. I did not have any problems except with keeping ornamental shrimp, no matter how big. I have a half dozen wrasses in my 300 and wouldn't hesitate to drop a mystery in there as well. It really depends on the individual fish, and size/order added. For every person who has had nothing but problems, there's going to be someone who had a 24 hr. beat down, and that was it.
 
I currently have a mystery wrasse in my 180, and he has been nothing but a model citizen. He, along with a firefish pair were the first fish added. I've since added a Jeweled Leopard Wrasse and a Melanarus with zero aggression. I think you'll find different experiences across the board, depending on the individual, as others have said.
