I just turned 21 and want to buy myself a birthday present.. I have a 20g long reef with a ton of flow and hiding places and a 3in sand bed, I was wondering if a Mystery Wrasse would be happy in my tank? He would be one of two fish in my tank, he would also be coming in at about 2.5in.

Let me know your input and thoughts on it, reguardless if I would want to hear it or not! :)

Thanks all

I also forgot to mention it will only be kept in the 20g until May when I move and get a larger tank, more than likely a 40g breeder.

.........wait till May, then do a 75gal, I have one in my 214gal, it uses all the space.

Buy fish for the tank you have, not the tank you will have

We also have been looking at a mystery wrasse. So I was thinking you could buy yours and we could foster him in our 210g, and then unfortunately when you set up your new bigger tank, we won't be able to catch him. :)

Bump for a cool fish to want, but agree with others current tank and maybe even upgraded 40g tank not big enough.

You guys talked me out of it! I will be getting him mid summer though once my new tank is setup, and I got my eye on a 109g peninsula actually right now, so maybe I will have plenty of space!
