Radiant wrasse growing?

[d-monic]

Hey all, Sorry to pester you guys with questions again, but i find myself on the brink of a purchase today. At my LFS where i buy all my fish, they just got in a tiny radiant wrasse :happyfish , only about 3/4 of an inch long. I know their minumum tank recommendation is a 50 G for adult size and i have a 45. But since hes so tiny,i was wondering if hed be alright for awhile, until i upgrade in the future,or if i cant afford to upgrade at that point,maybe even to sell him. but will putting the baby still stress him out due to the 5 G difference? I dont want to cause damage to fish in any way,so if im being stupid,please tell me so

, but does anyone know how fast they might grow? thanks so much for any opinions!!<3Devon

Hey! Just a small royal gramma,and a midas blenny, the radiant would be the last thing added *other then snails,hermits,etc.* i do plan on upgrading in the future to about a 90-120, but the money for that is still in question lol :thinking:

If that is going to be the last fish added, I don't see any reason why it would not work for you. You have a lightly stocked tank, and the fish would have the whole tank pretty much to himself.
Make sure the fish is eating at the LFS before you take him home.

I agree with Crazz. 5G really isnt enough of a difference to worry about when your talking tanks over 30G IMO.
