All About Reef Safe Wrasses

Could you recommend two that I could keep please ?

 

he recommended 3

 

So he did. Evolved I trust you so I'm only going to go with the wrasses you recommend. I really fancied the orange back so if that's defo not an option would the carpenters,mccoskers and the whip fin fairy go together ?

 

The list of possibilities is quite long. What should steer your decision is what appeals to you, what you're willing to spend, and ultimately what's available to you.

Not with a whip-fin; please see the species notes in the first post.

 

Ok thanks. I'm going away to have a good look/think of the wrasses I want. Thanks for your help so far.

 

I'm very curious about the Pinkface Wrasse. I have seen many big reef tanks containing these fish, and i think they are really interesting. I like their coloration, and shape of the body. I'm not thinking about keeping one myself, maybe in the future when i get a much bigger tank.

 

Thalassoma quinquevittatum (really all Thalassoma for that matter) are great at consuming mobile inverts and (once mature) bullying docile tankmates to the point of consuming their eyes.

 

oh my

 

Do I need to buy an acclimates box if I add another wrasse I bought a mccoskers wrasse

 

It certainly won't hurt. If the mccoskeri has been there longer than a week, I would advise one.
