Want to add flasher wrasse

[Eddie7144]

I currently have a lubbock's and an orange back fairies. I want to add 2 flasher wrasse and recommendations ?

Certainly should be doable, though a social acclimation box of some sort would be recommended.

What size tank are you adding them to, and who else lives there?

A few of my favorites are McCosker's, blue, linespot and royal flashers. They're active and generally always on the go, but can also be very shy and easily intimidated.

You could go with any of the flashers. From all reports the eightline is more aggresive than most. IMO the McCoskers is the most bang for the buck. Yellow fin flasher a close second. If money is no object a nice Diamond Tail is amazing. Or a Bells flasher or Redtail flasher. Gotta have a McCoskers though.

I have a linespot/dot dash flasher and he is gorgeous. I would definitely recommend one. Cleaning the glass is guaranteed to send him into hiding but he's generally out in the open during the day. He's the first one at the frozen food feeder at feeding time and eats well. He figured out very quickly that the round acrylic thing in the corner dispenses Mysis when I walk up to the tank and always swims over there in anticipation, but never shows aggression over the food. Tank mates are currently a pair of ocellaris, a dwarf moray and a tailspot blenny, but he gets along with everyone. Sometimes he even swims up top with the clowns or the tailspot will come up and swim next to him when he's near the bottom, but usually he's by himself.

I also like the McCosker's and Carpenter's, I might add them later.

In that size tank any of the flashers would work.
