Wrasse in Fluval Evo

[lem0nsnow]

What type of wrasse, if any, can I put in a Fluval evo?

I currently have 2 clowns, a cleaner shrimp, a conch, a turbo snail

With the two clowns you’re going to have a hard time adding a wrasse - There are species suitable for nano tanks like the Fluvals but they really don’t do well with aggression when newly added.

How big is a Fluval eco?

The only wrasse for small tanks are the pink streak or the possum wrasses.

Agree pink streak is good choice but like what is said that fish doesn’t like any stress from others. It can find a hole to hide and be ok but be ready in case clowns don’t slow the wrasse in the tank

Ok thank you guys!! Is there any suitable 3rd fish I can have in here?

I have 2 clowns and a tailspot blenny in mine and they all get along very well

I have a possum wrasse in a similar size tank (no clowns) but I feel he's more active than I expected, he uses all the space and I personally want a bigger area for him.

I have a pair of clowns and a hector's goby in my evo. They've been together happily for about 9 months now. The goby was added about 2.5 months after the clown pair.

I did have a Randall goby and a pistol shrimp before, the Randall didn’t like the high flow.

Not sure if I will add another fish just yet, will maybe wait for another tank before I think about this again

I've never had a Randall goby, but my Hector's goby seems to be fine with flow on the higher side. I have a Hygger Mini on full blast in random mode, and I also upgraded the stock pump to a sicce with much higher flow, and he's never been bothered by it.

I upgraded to a sicce pump and wave maker, 3 days later my goby jumped out the tank

+1 for the tailspot blenny. Funniest personality in my whole tank. And gets along with everyone, including the aggressive fish

Oh wow! Sorry about that. I have a mesh cover on mine but that's because one of my clowns decided to jump into the middle chamber when I first got the pair of them. I went with the D-D Aquarium Solution Jumpguard DIY top, and one of the cutout accessories from them (for the light attachment), for a total of under $60 and less than an hour of work for a nice mesh lid. I just couldn't justify one of the fancier, and far more expensive, after market lids.

I have 2 clowns in my Fluval Evo. When I first got the tank a year ago, I tried a possum wrasse -- didn't make it long, clowns seemed to bully him. I've just kept the 2 clowns now.
