Coffee brewing, mmmhmm.

What do you wrasse experts think about adding a second in our little 55g? Enough room? Aggression potential?

Have a female Halichoeres Melanurus for the past year, stocking list:

Melanurus wrasse
2 Clowns
3 PJ Cardinals
Lawnmower Blenny
Royal Gramma
Watchman Goby / Pistol

You've got room for more. Your melanurus will probably give new wrasses grief since she's been established for a while so I would recommend added more than one wrasse to disperse any aggression. Nice setup!

It's been a very entertaining day. Copperband + clown tang will launch an attack on the solar wrasse anytime he tries to flash.
Cbb is hands down my coolest fish.

I more or less have my wife's permission. Just have to find one that's eating and affordable. My "LFS" has them for $189 on sale occasionally...

Nah, that's the same store that was selling a Foxface LO for $189 "on sale" after advertising it for $18.

Id probably pass... honestly, everything has gone up.
I'd have tried 2 scarlet skunk shrimp if they weren't near 50 right now.

Petco has them for $50-$60 on occasion. Most of the managers are cool and would feed it in front of me if I ask.

Question: are Copperbands the "questionable" collection practices that make them susceptible to death after a couple of days? Cyanide or whatever?
