where to put wrasses?

[runn3rb3an]

right now I have a yellow tail and a lunare wrasse in 2 different tanks. Im getting at least a 120 in the very near future and i would like to combine a few tanks. would the wrasses be able to coexsist? I know its probably not possible but would it help to put them in together at the same time or one before the other? they are both the same size. thanks a lot

I have a red corris and a lunar in a 150 with no problems, think i got pretty lucky though.

I've had 3 wrasses in a 150 without any incident at all... it was a lunare, yellow wrasse and cleaner wrasse.

oh wow ok i thought I wouldnt be able to do this. should I put the yellowtail in first considering its less aggresive? or do you think its better to do it at the same time?

My yellow wrasse was long established before I put in the lunare. So I'd say put in the yellow tail first.

I have 4 wrasse in my 240g and they do just fine, all 7"+. My Tusk chases every now and then, but nothing major.

Red Sea Green Bird Wrasse
Red Coris Wrasse
Lunar Wrasse
Just make sure there are caves and places to break up territory so they can avoid one another if one get's "grumpy".

thanks for the help
I was thinking about picking up a 240 acrylic for 500 bucks. Sound like a good deal? How do you lik the demensions...the one im looking at is 8x2x2

 

[crypt keeper]

you have more options than you will ever realize. 8 foot tanks are perfect for a lot of fish. Large angels. Large tangs. Wrasses. Its a perfect tank,.

Also do you think a radiant wrasse can go with them?

it should work just make sure you put the least aggressive in first.

Thanks

I think the 240 got sold on c-list but im looking at a 180 this weekend

Plus I would need to wait another 2 years untill the kitchen was redone untill I could put up the 240 so its all good.
