Small Wrasses

michael_cb_125 · 12-23-2007, 02:54 PM

What are some very small wrasses. I am looking for a wrasse hat does not get over 2 inches. I have been looking at the McCoskers Flashers and they seem to be very small. What is the maximu size for the McCoskers?
Also what are some other very brightly colord SMALL Wrasses.
I do NOT want a sixline

Thanks for any help

McCoskers max growth is around 2-2.5'' max.

Filamented and Carpenter flashers also stay small(3'')and are colorful.

why not a sixline? just curious.

Ive had one of these before and Ive been looking for another,Candy Hog Wrasse

I thought it was a hogfish but Ive been seeing the name wrasse attached to it as well.

The main fish that will be in the tank will be a Blue Spot Jaw Fish. I dont want to have ANY fish that would harrass my BSJF. Sixline Wrasse can be a little mean sometimes.

oh, well the candy hog can be a little frisky so scratch that. And my sixline is very peaceful towards my algae blenny. I think they sleep in the same rock too. the jawfish stays in one spot all day I imagine, is this guy all alone in your 240 gal tank?

The Flasher Wrasses are very peaceful with other fish and remain small generally 3-4" but as with any wrasse they are very active fish so I don't know if this would be annoying to the BSJF. The Fairy wrasses are also peaceful although get a little bigger than the Flashers.
