Aaa yes that’s the other wrasse expert on here. It’s a 120.

I can't answer your question @AydenLincoln

But I do want you to start buying fully QT fish or doing full QT yourself.

Hewbie is too cute to risk anything else!

You might want to consider leopard wrasses. They mix well , unless…do you have a sand bed?

I was looking at Dr. Reefs and you are absolutely right. But the good news is because it is fowlr I can and have treated in tank before.

Yes I do. See I love leopards I do but because I know they are expert mostly due to diet. Makes me nervous definitely something I’d have to get in person my lfs usually always has them which is good.

I got mine from Blue Zoo online. Was large, healthy and a good eater from the get go. I’m having to downsize so I’m saying goodbye to it but when I can set up a larger tank I’ll definitely get another. One thing that helps is it seeing other fish eating and I put the frozen in the wavemakers flow to simulate the movement.

These are different wrasse types. The first is a flasher and the second being a fairy. Though the second is a bit of a boisterous fairy and you should add the flasher first I have never had issues between a flasher and a fairy wrasse.

Good thing these are two different wrasse from two different genera then.

Also flasher and fairy wrasse are two of the best fish to mix as they are far less likely to fight then other fish. There's even a chart for fairy wrasse mixing

The Solon is typically aggressive and much larger than the McCosker. That is what the wrasse guy states on his site and that was my experience as well with the only one I ever tried to keep (I won't get another). They are pretty but beware.
