ATTENTION all wrasse owners!!!!

[thesamm]

i will be adding a wrasse to my 90 and i need your opinions on what one...would be a good choice living with these fish:
a small lion species (antennata,radiata)
a green wolf eel
a large gold stripe maroon clown OR a fox face
and i have limited it to these few wrasses...paddlefin, pinkface, or Klunzinger's....o yea if it helps i have a euro reef ES5-3 skimmer (in sump) and two 802 powerheads and a emperor400
i just wanna know what one would best suit the fish list above because i only want 4 fish and i want them to somewhat get along...also what diet should these wrasses be fed and does any body have pics of there wrasses...?????

10" Lunar

Offshore80, what fish do you have in with him...as of now and does he nip on mushrooms at all?

 

[lion_crazz]

I would go with the klunziner. They are the prettiest, plus the most easy to keep. Vary any wrasse diet with a mix of frozen food (prawn, krill, shrimp, scallop, etc.). Any of those wrasses will do fine with those fishes, but the klunziners will not grow as fast as the paddlefins, I don't think.
I have no experience with the pink face you are referring to however, so I cannot comment on that fish. I was just going off of klunzinger vs. paddlefin

lion, i really like the pinkface the best and its not gonna cost me a fortune...so i think im gonna go with that...it is very similar to the klunzinger and the paddle fin so im guessing its temerment is similar...at least thats what my other resorces say also...so when you had your wrasses did it ever nip at mushrooms? :thinking:

 

[lion_crazz]

I've never kept wrasses with mushrooms, but I have heard many acounts of them nipping at em.

Blue-head wrasses are full of charactor and dont get to big. That may be a good choice.
