Anyone have more than 3-4 wrasses??

I have a 6-line wrasse (about 5 years), a Possum wrasse (about a year+), and a new Mystery wrasse (about 5months). Was woundering about adding another wrasse.

Anyone try this??

Sorry...Not it. The wrasse I saw was white with a few black spots (and of course the yellow tail). It is not one of these.

Pseudocheilinus family.

Re: question about exsposing cured lr to air

:confused:

If you put the LR in a bucket of SW it would be just fine.

Out of water for 30mins (no water) you will probably have a mini-cycle.

And you want to add coral too?? This is almost the load I have in my 100gal. There will be too much nitrates for a reef. You are going to have to cut that list in half (or go FOWLR).
