Tanakas Pygmy Wrasse

[adromero]

I’ve had a pygmy wrasse in my 34 gal for about three months now. I also house two ocellaris, two zebra dartfish and a neon goby. In the past, I housed a red line wrasse (Christmas wrasse), but it jumped out. I now have a lid for my aquarium. My wife wants me to add another red line, but I am worried it will fight with the pygmy. Will these two get along?

A red-line and/or christmas wrasse are a little big for a 34g and would out compete the Tanaka for food. Consider another wetmorella, say a yellow-banded or even a pink-streaked wrasse, both are low key and wouldn't cause any issues.

I like the yellow branded, but my wife doesn’t. Maybe I can talk her into pink streaked. I thought I saw one at my legs. Thanks for the reply.

They'd probably get along fine, but the tank is not large enough for Halichoeres wrasses.

Thanks for the reply. I am considering the pink streak wrasse that Minus9 suggested.

That would be a much better choice.
