Intresting... im from austria and the fish store posted a german stock list. The word for word translation would be long-fin wrasse. A quick google search linked it to c. Lanceolatus. Ill check it out today and see at the store.
Yes. Couple questions though. How big is your tank? Is one already a resident?
Tank is 105g. Right now I have an exquisite, solor, & blue flasher in QT. I'd like to add these 2 as well when I find them. Might add a Naoko, orange back or lubbock as well. But I for sure want the other 2 first.
Do you intend to add those three in QT to the DT first and then add Lineatus and Labouti next? After those three I would add the Lineatus first using acclimation box and then add the labouti via acclimation box as well. Labouti's can be somewhat aggressive. Given the size of the tank I would be hesitant to add the Naoki. It tends to be very aggressive.
I don't know how big your QT is or how far along you are in your QT process. Plus adding all 5 together assuming your QT can handle it would be doable but heavy jolt to your DT bioload at one time.
Just be mindful that wrasse have a thick slime coat that hides ich and velvet. I learned that the hard way years ago. Good luck
Wouldn't my tang or butterfly show signs?
You have a tang and butterfly in QT right now?
Yes it would be fine, but be sure to use acclimation box when introducing each wrasse to existing wrasse in your DT. I would also suggest adding the Exquisite last.
Added to DT at the same time? Yes but again an acclimation box would be handy to see if there is any aggression from the existing wrasse.
