These wrasses compatible?

100 gallon tank with plenty live rock

Pintail wrasse, carpenter wrasse and a filamentous wrasse, are these three gonna fight to death? TIA

The Pintail with either flasher is likely not an issue. I don't know about both flashers together. These guys will know.

Is the filamentous wrasse the fairy or the flasher? The whipfin fairy is supposedly pretty nasty.

this is him, not sure if he’s a flasher,

 

[mredwin25]

just caught him flashing, so yeah definitely a flasher

 

[nereefpat]

Yep, that is definitely a flasher and not C. filamentosus.

I'm not the best guy for flasher wrasse ID, but that one might be a carpenter's. I'll let one of the wrasse experts chime in.

I agree that looks like a carpenters flasher and I think multiple flashers can work but there’s a risk of male flashers not accepting each other. Less likely with more wrasse. Pintail are docile and will mix fine.

ok so here is the other one, have him separate until tomorrow, what is this one then? thought this was the carpenter lol

They all should be fine. Ideally add them together. If that isn't feasible introduce new wrasses to existing ones with a social acclimation box.

This is a flavianalis.

awesome!!! thank you all!!!

quick update,
Put them all in last night, lights out and flow off. Everyone hid until this morning, pintail and carpenter are out and about.

I have 4 flashers in my tank without issues. They were added 2 at a time.....P. cyaneus, P. lineopunctatus, P. flavianalis and P. angulatus. The first two are very closely related.
