adding another flasher wrasse?

[tigers fan]

Hi all. My tank has been up and running for 10 weeks and everything is going great. It is a 29 gallon BC. Right now I have a true perc and a carpenter wrasse. I want to add a McCoskers flasher. Would I have a problem having 2 flasher wrasses

I would be careful adding another wrasse to a tank that size. THere could be some territorial dispputes. I know that in larger tanks multiple wrasses can be maintained, but they have plent of room to establish territories. IMO a 29 gallon BC is not large enough for two wrasses.

How about a neon dottyback(aka pseudo dutoiti)

I have a purple pseudochromis, and he can be alittle aggressive.
I think that most of the pseudochromis are a little on the aggressive side. I know that the flasher wrases can be easily intimidated. But since the wrasse was in there first you would probably be ok. How long ha it been since you last added fish to your tank. Since your tank is only a little over two months old I would add fish slowly. I have a 25 gallon aquapod, since these are smaller tanks even a single fish can add a substantial bio-load.
But back to the point, I think that you should be ok adding a dotty-back.

A neon dottyback might be an ok choice, but they can be very aggressive for their size. If you are going to try one, add it as the last fish.

Ok, you should be fine stocking like that. How many fish are you planning to have?
