[p00num3lli]

ok, i have been searching to find one more smaller sized fish for my reef aquarium (75). i was also going to get a cleaner shrimp.i know that wrasses tend to eat invert's....

what if i get a small six line wrasse and a cleaner shrimp a bit bigger.

ive seen aquariums with them mixed..

what do ya'll think i should do?

2. and how do you?

I have a yellow coris wrasse and a cleaner shrimp in my 55 gal with no problems. I feed everyone mytis shrimp. I either have to feed once in the morning or split it up due to the yellow is a morning person. I don't see him in the evening.

LiveAquaria has a reef safe wrasse section that may help you. I've kept wrasses and love them for their color and activeness. Just make sure you have a tight canopy or use egg-crate because they like to jump.
