wrasse

[criminal]

currently i have a 55 gal. tank and i'm interested in getting a lunare wrasse because i think they're pretty cool looking and i was wondering if i could have a couple different wrasses or do i have to limit myself to one? and also can i only have one lunare wrasse or can i have 2?

IMO, a 55g is too small for a Lunar Wrasse. They are very active and do get mean with other fish and crustations, should only be kept singular unless there male and female but then you need a much larger tank.

i would say they need between a 75-100 gallon because they get about 10 inches i think

i went to another site and it said a 55 was the minimum size they need . . .

yes they need a pretty large tank the long way. They do alot of fast deleberate swimming.

I had one in my 130g and they do need lots of swimming room because he was all over the place in there.

I have a lunare wrasse in my 75gal. Great fish IMO. They should be one of the last fish added. If he is not I would make sure you can move your rock work around so he is not so territorial.
