Can you have 2 wrasses in a 55 gallon, I have a Christmas wrasse now and would like a yellow wrasse but not sure if they would get along.

If you have the true (I think ) Christmas Wrasse, Halichoeres cosmetes, it will probably be ok with the Yellow Wrasse, H. Chrysuss. Both are quite peaceful; there are other, more aggressive wrasse that also go by the same common names. I think a 55 is borderline for these two fish, but still think they'll be OK. I would expect some disagreement, however.

Maybe I wont do that then, my christmas wrasse is well established in the tank and was one of my first fish, so he has been there awhile.
