    Hi All,

    I would like a wrasse, and I'm thinking some type of Flasher Wrasse. He will be the last addition to my tank. What are your opinions on wrasses (ones you love, dislike, etc.) and what about Flasher Wrasses?

    If you think a wrasse isn't good, any recommendations for a smallish, really brightly colored, peaceful fish?

    Thanks!!

    Lol Yes I noticed! That's why I thought I should write my question now so that I would get some responses! HaHa ;D

    Do those need buddies? I think I read somewhere they like little schools and I definitely don't have room for multiples.

    No, purples can only be had one to a tank or they will kill each other. I have one purple in my 180, its an awsome fish always out in the open and the colors are SO vibrant, its the first fish everyone notices in my tank.

    Cool, I love those!! Alright, I think that's the last buddy I'll add. When I get him I'll post a pic. It will be about 3 weeks or so because I just got two new fish a couple days ago.

    I'm excited!! When this tank is full maybe I'll move on to a bigger one! :) Whew, this is addicting.

    Geez, pretty soon you'll have a store! Wouldn't that be fun?! It never ends...every week I'm buying something new for the tank. Last week it was a lot of money put into more live rock, but the fish love it! I think it's finally finished...

    Hey kcbrad, do you have a cover or hood on your tank? You should know that firefish are notorious jumpers. If you don't have a lid of some type; or at least some means for containment, you might reconsider such a choice.

    I love firefish. They are certainly beautiful and colorful--but I can't own them because I won't cover my tank.
