Wrasse compatibility question

- Start date
For what it's worth, the internet says this about the Picture Wrasse, "They do not appreciate living with other species of wrasse...." Hopefully someone with real life experience will chime in.
Probably not imo.

I'm trying to understand what wrasses are good with which others. Does anyone know if a chart exists ?
Only with fairies. You are going to be git or miss with the other families.
I currently have 2 Halichoeres wrasse species in my 120. A white belly and a Christmas wrasse. They get along great. Didn’t want to upset the balance by adding a third. They say as long as species are different you are ok but I figured 2 in a 120 with plenty of food and hiding they are good to go. Ended buying a green mandarin that I am going to train to eat white worms
Hit or miss and it gets more complex when you are adding cospecifics. Heck I have a very aggressive green chromis that is currently terrorizing every fish in my 200 gallon aquarium and have to rip the tank apart next week to get it out.
Dear god. Ripping a 200 gallon tank apart for a green chromis. I would try to use a small hook and fish him out. Lol
Tried it. Didn't work.

I have a bunch of clear plastic netting I used for my top you’re welcome to have to maybe make a net with. If you’re close to denville I’d think it would be worth a try before taking the tank all apart. I’m thinking it would be much less visible and give you a chance.
I am going to cut the tank in half with egg crate so only have to dismantle half of it. Going to suck but is needed. Just need to figure out if I want to add the fish back after a few months time out.
