Wrasses

[Ayzel1]

Goodmorning!! I have a yellow coris wrass in my current tank, was thinking about adding a melanarus wrass. If I do this, will there be an aggression issue between the two wrasses? TIA!!

They're usually okay together, but use an acclimation box.

How long should the Melanarus be in the acclimation box for?

Just to add my 2 cents, I have a yellow Coris that was the first wrasse in the tank. Have since added an Exquisite, Red-lined and Melanarus in that order and have had zero issues, and they have been in the tank together over a year.

That’s great!! But, if I do this, I don’t think I’ll add another wrass to my tank.

It is in the acclimation box for the next couple of days. Hopefully they get along and the Melanarus takes care of my bristle worms. Thanks fo the advise!! Goodnight!!

You say that now, but it's a bit of an addiction LOL...

True, very true. I used to have a melanarus, and I learned the hard way that you don’t add anything smaller after it. But now that I think of it, the a Harlequin Tusk is a wrass. So i guess I would add another wrass after this melanarus!![emoji28][emoji28][emoji23][emoji23]
