Wrasse Questions.

I am in the process of setting up a 90g tank. I would like to have a wrasse dominated tank and was wondering how to go about picking which ones will get along and which ones can't be put together. I love fairy and flasher wrasses and would like to have as many as possible. They have such interesting personalities. Some that I would like to keep are Lineatus, Hawaiian Flame pair (jordani), Scott's fairy, Bellae Flasher (Paracheilinus bellae) along with others. Thanks!!

I would highly reccomend the Pinned thread at the top of this forum, on Fairy wrasses.

The basic idea with mixing fairy/flasher wrasses, is to avoid males that are of similar size and coloration.

Be careful I have lost several wrasses out of the tank they like to jump.

Fortunately this tank is covered; hence the reason I want to have a lot of fairy wrasses I second the question about how to tell the male and female fairies apart.
