I just recently move most of my fish from my 120 to my new 225.

I originally have the 4 and 6line wrasses in the 120gal. Yes, they do not fight. However, they are still in the 120gal with few other fish that i m uncertain about their future. Because I am planning to get a pair of flame wrasses.

Beside the line wrasses. I do have a small mystery in the 225 already.

Here is a picture of the 225

Do you guys think the tank with many hiding place is big enough for my 4 line wrasse, 6 line wrasse, mystery wrasse and up coming fairy wrasses!

I really don't want to part away with my fish. They've been with me for more than 3 years.

I wouldn't keep any of those three with fairy wrasses personally, but if you wanted to try a mystery wrasse I would add it last after all your other wrasses are left. That genus of wrasses is much more aggressive than fairy wrasses.

Using the term "wrasse police" means that you don't really want advice. It is your money, enjoy.

i agree with tcmfish that mystery wrasse can be pretty aggressive!

A 225 is a big tank and it could certainly work although as TCM said, those other wrasses tend to be more aggressive than fairy wrasses.

I would be most worried about the 6 line and 4 line.

I would be most worried about the 6 line and 4 line.

that is why they are still in the old tank. I am almost certain that I will be finding them a good home.

I've got a sixline in a 180. He uses the ENTIRE tank. That is the only thing that has stopped me from adding other wrasse in with him.

Agree with everyone else.. I wouldn't put fairies with those lined wrasses.

why risk it bro? I would be pretty upset if any lined wrasse killed my flames or rhomboid, lol

I'm curious never owed a lined wrasse, How would it fair w/ yellow tang, Hippo Tang, and a Picaso trigger? All these fish are small around 2". :confused:

I agree with all the others. I have several fairy wrasses in my reef tank. After reading and doing research. I decided not to add a mystery wrasse.

How has your paramid butterflies been in your tank? Any problems with them messing with any corals or clams?

Who said its 100% reef safe. Na, no such thing or just bad luck. One of them love the red planet! Lucky me I have few of the red planet.

I think my mystery is not as bad as the 4 or the 6 line. He is pretty shy, and the pink margin is getting along fine with the mystery
