    Smile Wrasses

    Wrasses and Triggers are my favorite species of fish. With that said in my 210g they will be the star attractions. My questions is this to those of you with larger aquariums what do you think about having 2 wrasses in the same tank. I really want a Hardwicki Wrasse and a Harlequin Tusk. What do you guys/gals think. Ive heard that Harlequins have completely diffrent personalities than other wrasses, so it should be ok?......

    Sweet, Ive never seen a Hardwicki in a store but online only. I called Aqua D to see if they could get me one.

    I have a filament flasher wrasse, and from what I have read, if you have a large tank and provide plenty of hiding places you should be ok. Since I only have a 75, I am not going to try it!

    Its a risk, Ace has one in his reef but that doesnt meen that it will work for everyone. I have come to learn thats the case with many fish.

    Yeah a lot of fish are "eh" when it comes to being reef safe. I've seen individual fish go from one person's tank, never bothering anything, into another tank, totally demolishing all LPS in sight. A lot of fish could be either way, depending on individuals. I tell people all the time that it's like one person being a pilot and another being scared of heights. Just because we're people doesn't mean we will react the same to every situation.
    As for the two fish in question, they should be fine together, especially in a 210, not taking reef compatability into consideration. High risk hobbies demand RISK!!! Go for it!!!
