Pink streaked wrasse compatibility

[LeleganceCoral]

I have a pair of clownfish and a royal gramma in a 25g peninsula. Currently they are all doing great and eating well, but i have a flatworm issue and was recommended the pink streaked wrasse. I am wondering if it will get bullied, if it will be too much bio load for the tank, or wont have enough air.

Current inhabitants:
2 Clownfish
1 Royal gramma
~3 trochus snails
1 fighting conch snail

Pinkies are low bioload. The most important aspect of pinkies is that they are in a peaceful tank. A 25 with those fish will be bad news for a pinkie if it is getting picked on. Nowhere to hide.

Would it be okay since my clownfish dont care about anything in the tank, unless they get close the powerhead (about a fourth of the tank is their territory), and the gramma kinda just stays by the opening of one of the caves all day until food time. The gramma probably wont bully unless the pinkie chooses his cave, and the clowns as i said could not care less about anything else in the tank than the powerhead. If not, are there other fish (preferably not shrimp or crabs) that will eat these tiny flatworms?

It’s a big risk to add a pink streak along with the existing fish in your size system. If they were the first fish in, that would have been your best bet.

It’s a shy fish and likely won’t do OK in your system.

Will any other pest eating fish work for my system? I really dont want to go the chemical route and risk crashing my tank.

Siphoning out as many as you can is a good start.

Alternative to a pinkie is a sixline, but they are also the opposite in terms of aggression. They may be fine or they may become a tank terror. Probably one of the best flatworm eaters by reputation, though.

@Slocke @i cant think thoughts on a wrasse for flatworms in a 25g with 2 clowns and a gramma? OP was thinking a pinkie.

My gramma/clowns never pay attention to the pink streak but I still had plenty of flat worms, mine were algae eating kind though. A sixline is probably better for flat worms, but they can be terrors. May be okay with those fish though.
