can i keep different kinds of wrasses in 75 gallon?

[nycsicktank]

how many can i put?
do all wrasses in snails?

 

[aaron23]

im having that same difficulty. Compatibility is a big issue with wrasses..

Do you mean wrasses eating snails?

Post the kinds of wrasses you want to put together and I'm sure an expert would answer your question

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I have a mystery wrasse and have no idea what to put in there with him.

 

[JLAudio]

Ive kept a red coris wrasse, 2 types of fairy wrasse in a 110 and they didnt even seem to notice each other. As for snails, all of the non-reef safer wrasses will attempt to eat snails and hermits, shrimp, but there are a ton of good reefsafe wrasses out there and that amazing colors and even more amazng $$$ tags

As suggested your best bet is to post what wrasses you'd like to keep and I'm sure you'll get input on which ones don't get along with the others.
In my 120 I have a Dusky Wrasse, Yellow Coris (they like to munch on feather dusters..), Yellowtail Coris (will flip over anything that is not nailed down), Lubbocks, Yellowstreaked Wrasse, Exquisite Wrasse. I also have a Cryptic 6 line wrasse..which is NOT the same as a regular 6 line..he is only about 1 1/4" long & 1/2" tall...and very docile.

Most fairy wrasses are good citizens, but do ask about specific ones & take a look at the Wrasse thread..so many, so beautiful

I recently had to re-home my Christmas wrasse as he turned into a terror as he aged.

Just keep in mind the tank MUST be covered if you want to keep wrasses..they are prone to jumping

Oh forgot...I have lots of hermits and snails..but I also kinda sorta might maybe sometimes overfeed my tank....lol

i like this wrasses:
yellow coris wrasses
melanurus Wrasse(Halichoeres melanurus)
Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
Christmas Wrasse

i have a purple firefish and a flame anglefish

 

[Killerdrgn]

oh on the same note can you keep four line wrasses, six line wrasses and eight line wrasses together? or any combination thereof?

 

[NYreefNoob]

the firefish will jump, they will chse it eventually. most all fairy wrasse's will get along and check to see if some of those are reef safe. is it for a fowler or a reef tank

 

[NYreefNoob]

}oh on the same note can you keep four line wrasses, six line wrasses and eight line wrasses together? or any combination thereof?} no might have a chance if all added together but more than likely no

 

[aaron23]

they say if you introduce them all at once... but who really knows anything is possible....
but i dont think you should try the 4line 6line and 8line lol

i think your wrasse list will work, i've had 3/4ths of your list and pretty confident they'll be okay together but question for you is: What size tank are these wrasses going into?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Like Deanos says "The only predictable fish is a dead one."

 

[nycsicktank]

this is only a 75 gallon and its fowlr. i really like christmas, melanurus and yellow coris. is there a good possibility they will make it?

3 Halichores wrasses in 75g. is asking for trouble. The Xmas and the melanurus are very closely related and almost sure to fight. You might have a shot with the yellow coris and 1 of the other 2.

Anyone up for some underwater wrasse fights? who wants to take bets?

 

[Dace]

Say by to the firefish, the six line will be kicking some a$$, don't under estimate that fish because of it's size, Thats one big a$$ chi-wawa ( mean little bastards)

 

[nycsicktank]

new list
Cirrhilabrus scottorum
Paracheilinus carpenteri
melanurus

hope this is a better choice.

I also have a Cryptic 6 line wrasse..which is NOT the same as a regular 6 line..he is only about 1 1/4" long & 1/2" tall...and very docile.

Any pictures of the Cryptic or where I can find a picture?
