wrasse fish

[uncheels]

Is it ok to put more than one together in a tank?

What type? What are your tank dimensions, live rock, inhabitants?
In general, I would err on the side of caution and say no, but it does depend on the type and the tank.

2 fairy wrasses can be kept together right? Or a fairy wrasse with a yellow coris?

bump?

Wrasse fish, 60 genera and six hundred plus species...some you can, some you can't.
for the hijacker, generaly, as long as only one fairy is a male, best to have with a few females...a fairy and Y coris, generaly yes.

Right; this is a huge group of fish, even includes hogfish, tusk fish, etc. I'd think two wrasse of completely different shapes are fine--assuming they have enough room. I have a harlequin tusk & a Scott's Fairy wrasse together and they're fine. (They're both the Australian variety). No real rule on this, IMO, depends a lot on the individual fish.

Would a Tusk and another wrasse be ok in a large tank...say 240g.
A Lunar, Coris, or Bird?

I'm planning on putting a tusk in with my lunar in a 180, so I hope it is ok.

I have a 210 w/a male rhomboid, male lineatus, six line, melanurus, radiant wrasse, solorensis wrasse and 2 labouti wrasses and I have no problems at all.

As of last night I had a 7" Aust Tusk established in my 240g and added a 7" Green Bird Wrasse and they have paid each other no attention.
So it CAN be done. But I would not have tried this with a Lunar aka Lunatic Wrasse.

hehe

I have a green coris wrasse and a yellow corris wrasse in the same 72 gallon tank and they seem to get along fine. The green one is about twice the size of the yellow.

I've had a six line and a radiant together for about 7mo with no problems.
