I have a melanurus wrasse, he is a gorgeous fish, except it has a taste for snails and hermits!

That's the problem I had with my last mystery wrasse......... I had one that was passive and he died in transition to my new tank , so I got a second one and he hunted down my cleanup crew and one day he disappeared and as I expected he had jumped and was dried up behind my tank.

How many wrasses can I have in a 57 peacefully

 

[Brando457]

If you do different species probably 2/3, just make sure they're of different kinds.

In my 180 I have the melanurus, an orange back fairy, and a yellow flanked fairy wrasse, they all get along well enough except the melanurus is a pig.

I might end up selling my melanurus since I would like to maintain a CUC and his terroistic ways aren't welcomed.

For a 57g I'd check out an exquisite fairy wrasse & maybe the orange back they're both awesome fish and colorful/peaceful.

Currently I have 2 baby yellow coris wrasses in my 29, I had a melanurus but he jumped. Carpenter wrasse seem cool.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Yeah Brando I checked em out , very nice colors , I think I got a keeper in the fairy wrasse , now I need a few more fish to pack the tank with color

 

[Brando457]

I had an exquisite wrasse before he went carpet surfing, just make sure that thing is tighter than .....
