Can a Banana wrasse live with an Aussie lunar wrasse?

[my2rotties]

My wrasse is a male Thalassoma lutescens he is about 6-7" long. The new wrasse is about 4" long but I do not know the sex of it, or know if you can tell. The Banana wrasse can be sexed by the blue colouration instead of yellow on the females. I do have a fish trap and the Banana wrasse is very curious and inquisitive to anything new I put into the tank or things I move around.

The Banana wrasse I have is very active in swimming and never stops for anything. To have the Lunar wrasse would add more colour and activity to my community. They are wonderful fish and so much fun to watch. They remind me of dolphins in their movement and playful nature.

Thanks for the help, I just want to make sure I don't make a mistake in getting the new fish in a couple of weeks when the seller brings him to Calgary for me.

In your case, I would probably go for it. just be prepared to intervene and make a decision on which one needs to get the boot. know in advance what the best way to catch a wrasse in your tank is.
