Wrasse questions

Daniel@R2R · Jul 29, 2013

Ok. I know some guys do trios of flasher wrasses but what about fairy wrasses? Also, can you mix different types of fairy wrasses? I've got a 180 that I'll be putting them in.

Yes, you can. Males of different species can work fine together too, with a few exceptions.

Awesome thanks! I'm looking at several different ones on LA's website, and I don't think I can pick just one. Lol

Ive herd of flame wrasse trios which would be pretty expensive. and mystery wrasse trios (which are obviously not fairies but still cool) im sure there are other fairies you could put together

You can do trios of fairies too but dont be too surprised if you end up with all males eventually. Generally mixing can be done but some are more feisty than others. Many use an acclimation box when adding new ones to allow everybody to get used to each other without being attacked.

Thanks for the great tips.

There are some species you should outright avoid if you plan to have multiple species in the tank.

Well I was going to comment, but seeing as some of the most knowledgeable people on wrasses have already responded I will just say "+1". Wrasses are like Lays Potato Chips "I betcha can't...have...just one". Have fun.
