    That'd be pushing what your tank can support considering the existing inhabitants.

    I still think 3 is your limit.

    I don't see any issues with one C. lubbocki and two Flashers. Adding the C. aurantidorsalis to the mix is where it gets questionable. Now you are up to 9 fish in a 65. I would do the 3 former listed, and see how everything goes. None of those 3 would prevent you from adding another wrasse at a later date.

    Edit: I missed page 2 and the posts from Hunter! But seems we are on the same page anyways :)

    That's what I'll do I'll have a c.lubbocki. I think the 3 flashers all look very similar!! Could you through another one into the mix? Also will the males flash if no females are present? A big thanks for all your help so far!!!!

    Take a look at the different Flashers. They don't all look alike, although they may be similar. And yes, the males will flash for each other. Especially at feeding time.

    Yes, keep it to 3 wrasses max.

    Is it best to buy all three together or get the two flashers first? I've always went with the rule of just buying 2fish a month!!
