Stocking Question - Melanurus with Leopard Wrasse


Kevin S.

Recommended Posts

I have a 6-7 inch Melanurus wrasse in a 125 with 150lbs of rock and a 2-3 inch sand bed. My question is if it is possible to add a Leopard wrasse or not.

Other fish are -

2 - clowns

Yellow tang

Yellow belly Damsel

2 - Hippo Tangs

Lantern Basslet

Thanks,

The Melanurus is the more aggressive of the two and it would have been better to add it last, but with that said all fish have a personality and if yours is pretty mello then it should be Ok after 24 - 48 hours I would feed my tank really well late in the light cycle and add the new wrasse after lights out. Then in the morning it is less likely to cause a stress event. My Mel is super mello and gets along with all my fish.

Well I added the Leopard a hour before the lights went out. The Melanurus did not even care that he was in the tank. But the Damsel did, and chased him around and kept him in a corner. I will try and remove the Damsel if this continues.
