In my new tank I love the coloration on a lot of wrasse, but im wondering how many different kinds I can keep in the same tank? I like the Mccoskers flasher for one, I know I want another one of these. Just curious if there is a guideline on keeping several of the same species

how big is the tank? They usually get along pretty well, forgot the screen name, but I was just at a member's house to grab a couple frags, he had a ton in a 180. As long as you have enough space, they are pretty easy going most of the time, really just depends on what you get. The reef safe ones are usually much smaller.

It depends on the fish. I had a lubbocks fairy wrasse that would kill all the other wrasses I would add after him. This time I am adding them like tangs, all at once. Ive seen those acrylic introduction boxes that are supposed to help reduce aggression. I was going to buy one of those but ended up getting him out finally.
