Hey Everyone,
This may be a dumb question, but at least I'm asking before I'm buying, right!?
I have a 41 gallon tank. It's arguably too stocked as it is, so understand that I would be removing either the cardinalfish or the angelfish to make room first.
It currently has:
2-Maroon Clowns
1-Mystery Wrasse
1-Flameback Angel
1-Bangaii Cardinal
1-Target Mandarin
1-Ruby Dragonet (although, this fish was very skinny and sick looking when I got him [got a good deal] and I haven't seen him in two days...so he could very well be dead already...yes, I know what their diet is, and I stock with copepods. My Mandarin is fat!)
So, my question is, which kind of wrasse can safely be added? I'm keeping the Mystery Wrasse. He's my killer torpedo! I fed him 4 pepper mints one time just for fun...one of them didn't make it half a second before he ripped it in two :croc:
I've been seeing some beautiful fairy wrasse varieties come into my LFS lately, and I really really want one. But, I don't want my Mystery killing it. Particularly, how would a Naoko Wrasse do? Will this just cause a fight to the death? What about a Christmas Wrasse? I'm assuming no on the Christmas Wrasse, but would like some input anyways.
I know wrasse can be broken into different sub-species or whatever you call them, so if anybody knows which sub-species can live peacefully together that would be great info. Thanks for any input!
