    Hey all!

    Does anyone have experience with yellow wrasse and false perc clownfish? Just wondering how they'd get along in 29gallon tank. Other tank livestock are peppermint shrimp, various snails, red leg hermit crabs.

    Probably a couple blue/green chromis also going to finish off the list.

    Any thoughts? on compatability issues here? I know the yellow wrasse may eat a hermit here and there. This yellow wrasse is full grown (about 4.5 to 5 inches) and has been in a reef tank for past 3 years without coral problems.

    Thanks!

    Yellow wrasses are very mellow fish and pretty much ignore other fish. It may go after small snails and feather dusters. The most challenging thing my wrasse does to other fish is to actually swim around them to irritate them every once in a while.

    Ok thanks guys I have him in another tank right now with the Kole tang... today the kole tang followed the yellow wrasse until I threw some mysis just to give the wrasse a break! LOL

    I've never seen the Kole tang look at another fish until today!

    LOL funny... I tell people all the time... here is what NORMALLY happens... everything else is still a possiblity... fish DO have thier own unique personality just like some people.

    That is why my FW rainbow shark lived for long time with 6 convicts and a jack dempsey with zero problems. VERY agressive rainbow shark... perfect match. LOL

    Very crazy. My wrasse likes to invade the personal space of my Purple Firefish and make it dart.
