SOMEONE READ AND GIV ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!! Can i put two Ocellaris together in a 55 gallon tank. Right now i only have (3) three striped damsels and a juvenile lunare wrasse. Will they all get along? Also they dont hav to be a mated pair right? And finally i dont think im gonna do this but jus to know... can i put a Ocellaris with a B&W or Black Saddleback so id have an ocellaris with either or BW or Saddleback (so mix pairing). But mostly can i pair two ocellaris even if there not mated lik go into a store and by two Ocellaris and put them in the in same tank?

Lunare wrasse can get very violent, I'm not sure any smaller fish will be safe with one and theyll definitely ougrow a 55. Other then that 2 Ocellaris should be fine.

r u saying the wrasse will out grow the tank? and my wrasse is weird all he does is hide and when i put food out hell eat it and then go hide but he shares an area with all the damsels underneath a rock lol and doesnt seem to bother them the only thing i notice hes really really fast lol he nvr bites me the damsels on the other hand they r very predatorial this jus started happening recently. But its good to kno the two ocellaris's will be fine.

Yes, lunare wrasse grow to be about 10" and will outgrow a 55. Generally they are active swimmers so I'm surprised he never is swimming around. They are aggressive predatory fish that should be kept with similary aggressive fish and as he gets bigger he can be more territorial and start bullying other fish and I would not be at all surprised if he starts considering the damsels a potential lunch. For their size, Damsels are very aggressive fish and can bully other smaller fish around. They don't stand a chance versus a full size Lunare though.
