Would these guy all get a long?

[kevin32]

Iam planning to get the following wrasses for my 100 gallon tank.

Exquisite wrasse
Flame wrasse
Red headed Solon fairy wrasse
Carpenter flasher wrasse
Mc Cosker flasher wrasse
Leopard wrasse
Lubbocks fairy wrasse


What you guys think? Will all get along?

 

[4FordFamily]

I've had them all together without issue. If my memory serves me though I think Solon can be aggressive although mine is a star citizen.

 

[kevin32]

So should I get the Solon last?

So should I get the Solon last?

I would say at the same time as a lubbocks as they can be aggressive I have heard as well.

IME the more wrasse you have, the lesser the aggression.

Add several at a time.

My wrasse tank has:

Fairy:
Lineautus super male
Katoi male
Flame male
Pintail male
Pink margin male
Golden rhomboid male
Tono female
Solon male
Exquisite male (Maldives)
Yellow flank

Leopard:
Melagris female
Ornate male
Choati male
Blue star male
Blue star female
Black female

Halichoeres:
Radiant
Yellow "coris"

Other:
Elegant coris juvenile

I feel like I'm missing one or two. Whatever point is they're star citizens!

On Jesus lol....beautiful specimen you got there.. Thank you!

Radiant wrasse reef safe?

Radiant wrasse reef safe?

"Reef safe" but can eat cleanup crew. Very difficult fish to get started

Nobody ever shows mystery wrasse any love

It's because mystery wrasses don't show other wrasses any love. Beautiful, though.

I've always heard Lubbock's is one of the more docile fairies, so OP might want to double check. They are on the small side, for sure.

Solon is definitely known for aggression with other wrasses. I'd add flashers first, then leopards and fairies, with the Solon last.

 

[kevin32]

Cool thanks guy. Guess Lubbock and Solon last. Thank you.

Don't acclimate well?

 

[4FordFamily]

Yes because they're satan

 

[4FordFamily]

Don't acclimate well?

No they do not. As hard or harder (in my opinion) than leopard wrasse

 

[NicksMixedReef]

My mystery wrasse was always a saint! Lived with a flasher for years! But it did go to war once a week on all my snails

Exactly. The Pseudocheilinus genera doesn't belong with others.

Usually docile, yes; but there are accounts of them being rather boisterous.

Solon is definitely known for aggression with other wrasses. I'd add flashers first, then leopards and fairies, with the Solon last.

Agree

No way....wow I though leopard were the top one to acclimate. Good thing I asked...phew

I would love a mystery wrasse but heard so many horror stories...sigh

Awesome thanks. I will add them accordingly.

Btw, is having 7-8 wrasse in a standard 100 gal tank too much fish?
