Wrasse for a 30g

mann1139 · 02/04/2010, 08:19 AM

Other than the typical six-line, what other wrasse could I put in my 30g FOWLR breeder?

Tankmates are a tomato clown, royal gramma, and shrimp goby.

Oh, and three medium-size pepp shrimp.

I would get a small leopard. make sure you have some kind of cover though. I used 1/4" netting in a standard window screen frame, cut to size.

I wouldn't add any more fish to the tank, personally. Keeping the stocking on the light side helps a lot with nutrient problems and aggression.

"Typical 6-line"? I think they are one of the coolest looking wrasses though!

As was the one I bought six months ago, that I spent 4 weeks quarantining, only to have to return after 3 days b/c it was so big and aggressive (fish always look so much smaller at the store).

Get a small flasher. They're fun to watch and certainly not agressive.
