Wrasses??


What are some of people's favorite wrasses and why do you like them? I want to add one or mabye several, but am looking for some advice as to what would be most compatable with the other fish in my tank. Right now I have a sailfin tang, and a couple clownfish that control most of the tank. I also have a couple blennies, gobies, shrimp, etc.. They would also need to be reef compatible as I have several SPS, LPS, and softies.

Thanks!

yellow, sixline, bird, leopard, lunare are all my favorites.....i would recomend all of them exept for the lunare as they are very aggresive, i also dont recomend the leopard unless your are getting it from someone reputable, because they usually dont make it on account of not exepting foods....the bird wrasse also needs lots of swimming room so that may or may not work for you depending on whether or not your tank is big enough.

Solar wrasses are my favorite for reef tanks. Mine inspects my corals daily for tasty treats which is an added bonus

Not my tank but a good pic of one.

I find the Sixline works best for me. He is always out and very hardy.

I never gave much thought to owning a wrasses until I somewhat accidently bought a sixline. This little guy is fast becoming my favorite fish.

sixline is hard to beat for the price. They are awsome looking! Common isn't always drab!

It's a 75 and has about a 3-4" sandbed.
