Wrasse Owners

[jeffandkelly]

I have an unknown wrasse (its solid pink), a blue sided fairy wrasse and a mccoskers wrasse in a 60 gallon shallow reef. There was a lubbocks wrasse as well until I had a nitrate spike and I lost that one. I tried to introduce a new lubbocks and they did not accept it. But the 3 of them get along very well and with the other fish in the tank. What ever the pink one is, is the one that killed the new lubbocks when I added it.

Would egg crate work

My Blue Sided Fairy Jumped through Egg Crate. Thankfully I was there to grab it and put it back in.

It's better than nothing, but they can still manage to find a way through. Mesh tops are the only way to be completely secure.

I have a melanurus and a six line. Melanurus doesnt bother anyone except the flatworms :wow2:, he is one of the biggest fish in the tank. I had a problem with my sixline chasing my maroons around but after I added the melanurus he stopped.

Not necessarily. I have glass tops with only a 1 square inch hole to run wiring through... Still lost a wrasse.

Definitely not an anthias. It is very aggressive so I thought it was a male. But I can't find a wrasse that looks like it anywhere. It is definitely a wrasse though

Thank you. I lost it recently in a tank crash. It was devastating

I lose my wrasse every time I set up a tank.
