    Pretty sure that Is called a Ring ;).


    lol There might be some agression issues! They have the same body style dont they?

    I have a Xmas and Y&P wrasse together, they get along just fine, but where added at the same time.

    Just keep an Eye on their behavior. Other then that, should be ok!

    Hmm Have you researched the two. Some wrasses with the same body style do well together.

    I googled it a little bit, but I couldn't really find any information on the two together. The Red Velvet is noted as being peaceful, but I don't know about towards other wrasse.

    i have my melanurus wrasse and my mccoskers wrasse in my 3 foot tank, my mccoskers was added first and then the melanurus was last and he's twice the size of my mccoskers wrasse and i have no fighting issues, even when they were first added

    but like eric has mentioned there might be some fighitng, especially at first but they should work out it eventually

    You wouldnt think a tang and a blenny would go at it lol but they do.. Probably cause of the food source issue more then anything.

    You should be fine. Just dont want a sad Kacy :(

    Those 2 will be fine in the 90g.

    I have not yet decided. I will know tomorrow hopefully.

    Actually my fiance will be buying it for me, along with a red mandarin.
