Exquisite fairy wrasse and Solar wrasse....
 

Wondering what the chances are if I add a Exquisite Fairy wrasse into a tank with a established Solar wrasse, both are males, will they be okay in a 72 gal tank?

Thank,

Leah

i can't see why Leah alot of wrasses really dont care i have a flasher wrasse and a leopard wrasse they are both males

Hey Leah,
I added a Solar wrasse to my 72G housing a BlueSided Fairy Wrasse. I did get some pretty bad chasing at first...The Blue Sided chased the solar for 2 days to the point that he could not even leave the rock hiding spot. Wasn't able to eat or anything.
So I caught the blue-sided and "sumped" him for 2 days and allowed the Solar a chance to establish himself and start feeding. Upon reintroduction...I had no problems! Not even once!
Many people keep more than one type of fairy wrasse and I wouldn't hesitate to try again.:wink::biggrin:

Exquisite are pretty aggressive just so you know. I have lots of wrasse in my tank and he was the most aggressive hes now gone because of aggression.

Speak of the "wrasseman" hisseff.....how many do you have Kieth?

Leah I too like a nice wrasse:wink:.....I cant speak from experience about the exquisite....but I had three fairies in my tank at one time....male hooded jumped sold the female hooded and still have the lineatus...no aggression between them....in fact they loosely grouped:wink:

2 lubbocks, mystery, lineatus, female hooded ( male died) 2 ruby fairys, pencil, red coris, 6 line, bar wrasse, labouti, im sure theres more but lights are off now.

I believe you have a pair of flames at the store for me too if they came in anyway.

Thats sucks about your hooded :sad:

Keith

Four pairs!....all gorgeous and all eating.....

sorry for the jack Leah...

Interesting! :biggrin:

I really wanted to put him in the 95 gal but he is in QT and has not really come out of hiding for any length of time, so I thought maybe he was just really timid and would not last to long with my Anthia, who has quite the attitude towards any newcomers. But maybe I still have a chance to put him in the 95 with a little rearranging and a lot of luck!

*Doug about this wrasse fetish, care to elaborate in a p.m. :mrgreen: :redface:
Oh and Doug one good jack deserves another. :wink:

Thanks guy's/ gals for all your help.

Leah.....its not really a fetish.....more just a general admiration....if anyone has a wrasse fetish its Kieth....

:sad:
