Wrasse Compatibility

[RMS18]

Hey everyone,

Wanted to grab some thoughts on how adding a flasher wrasse to a 120 with a Male Ear muff, male yellow tail and a male potters would go? There are other fish but those are the wrasses. They have been in the tank for 1.5 years no issues between those 3. I know flashers are more docile, my gut has me worried about the make ear muffs being aggressive.

Thoughts?

My halichoeres (including my ear muff) and other pod-eating wrasses don't pay much attention when I add new flasher (or fairy) wrasses. If you use an acclimation box it'll probably be okay. Also, it'll help if you add more than one flasher so they don't single out the new guy.

Good to hear.

Multiple flashers can be in the same tank? I thought only one male per family.

Multiple male flashers can be kept in the same tank as long as they’re different species. I have P. Attenuatus and P. Lineopunctatus together, their displays to each other are stunning!
