^ That's certainly do-able, provided you chose wisely. There's 13 in my 190.

Your article on wrasses was what I used to choose my wrasses and it's been spot on! I have a hankering for maybe one more fairy and one more flasher! :bigsmile:

What are the wrasses already in there? Usually those species would be fine to add if an acclimation box is used.

melanarus, yellow coris, and sixline. I want to add more of each.

That's not a good idea. Wrasses are more likely to have aggression issues with conspecifics.

I may be lucky, that we've had our Pseudocheilinus wrasse with others for three years now, with no trouble so far.

Ah, but that's expected because it's a Pseudocheilinus wrasse. A genus which is not to be mixed with other genera.

Sometimes we can all get lucky, but that doesn't mean it's advisable to try.
