wrasse suggestions

[palmer373]

i have a list of wrasses im interested in but i dont know a lot about them. moste likely the tankmates with be a Balistapus undulatus and a Sufflaman chrysopterus and a YWG in a 75g tank. i know the 75 wont be sufficient when they are full grown but i have a few years since they are >3". heres the list of wrasses:

Halichoeres claudia
Thalassoma amblycephalum
Thalassoma bifasciatum
Thalassoma quinquevittatum
Thalassoma jansenii
Halichoeres leucoxanthus
Halichoeres chrysus
Halichoeres leucurus
Halichoeres richmondi
Halichoeres chrysotaenia

can i get some info on these and mainly if they will work with the 2 triggers? and could i keep like a M/F pair or harem? thanks

also i might be getting a Acreichthys tomentosus to help with aiptasia so they would have to be compatible with the filefish. i know filefish and triggers are iffy on being tankmates but i havent heard a good enough reasons to not try it.

An Undulatus trigger is one of the most aggressive fish out there. Same as a clown trigger, will one day go postal and wipe out the neighborhood.

i agree w monkey fish.. they are some , if not most aggressive fish out there and really a threat to any other fish you house with it, maybe you can get away with it if you have areas the trigger cant enter during the night so the wrasse can sleep in bc thats when triggers go on their sudden rampages

i know about the aggressiveness and im going to take the chance (the trigger im getting is very calm, peaceful, and loveable in the current tank, it can/will change later tho. usually when they reach adulthood.)

im just curious and what some info (experiance) with some of the wrasses and see which ones people like the most and for what reason.
