    Just to comment on the aggression aspect of it, you should expect some aggression and fighting as they establish dominance. I'm not sure if it's any less or more than clowns since I've never had clowns but my McCoskers are still going at it and they've been together for a month.

    AFAIK just make sure one isn't getting beaten up too badly, if the fish is really getting tattered fins or is getting cut up you may need to separate them or it could get killed.

    My McCoskers have never showed any physical damage so I've just let them go about their business. If anyone else has more information about this as well I'd be interested in hearing other opinions/experiences as well.

    hahaha ive tried we have a perfect wall space downstairs for like maybe a 5 fotter but they still say no :(
    hahaha that is very true :D
    that would be a good idea, but i really dont want to have to brake down the entire tank just to move it for a new stand :)

    thanks for the info, i mean their known to be peaceful i just cant figure out if this wrasse should be kept alone because if theirs two of the same kind if i were to try to get them to pair up, i would be fine with them fighting for a lil while cause thats what they do but i dont want them fighting to the death

    so hard to say if its really worth buying two or just one, especially on this breed since theirs not much info on them

    almost all wrasses are female first so two females should be fine ;)
