Wrasse list

dbenenh0 · Sep 30, 2016

I've been working on getting my list of wrasses together that i'd like to have and would like to hear what others thoughts are. The tank is a 110 tall. Ill do my best with names.... Current fish in the tank are 2 clowns, kole tang, and a firefish. Other recommendations would be great to.

Naoko Fairy Cirrhilabrus naokoae
Harlequin tusk Choerodon fasciatus
Melanurus Halichoeres melanurus
Alfian's flasher Paracheilinus alfiani
Yellow tail tamarin Anampses meleagrides
Diamond Tail flasher Paracheilinus attenuatus
Blue Spotted wrasse Anampses Caeruleopunctatus
China wrasse (black-backed) Anampses neoguinaicus

I would not keep a tusk with any fairy or flasher wrasse.

The tusk will likely bully the other inhabitants.

P. alfiani is unavailable to thehobby so far.

The Anampses will eventually outgrow that tank.

What are some others that would get along with the Tusk that you would recommend?

Larger, more aggressive species, such as the genera, Thalassoma, Coris, Bodianus, and Cheilinus. The problem is that these are a little large for a 4' tank.

Thanks for the help. I may just cross the Tusk off my list that way I can get the fairy's and flashers.

If I did that would Anampses twistii be okay to add to the list? I wasn't sure if keeping multiple Anampses is okay?

Keeping multiple Anampses is fine, just some get pretty big. A. twistii is a good choice.
