I'm looking for a fairly small 3'' to 4'' none aggresive wrasse to go in my 6x2x2 reef. Other fish include Yellow tang, Regal tang,Orchid Dottyback, Royal Gramma, pair percula clowns. I have discounted Sixline due to aggresion, and Banana wrasse due to it's overall look. Any one got any ideas.

Any of the fairy wrasse family are peaceful

Flasher wrasses and fairy wrasses are great little fish.

nice fish about 3-4 inches, very peaceful and always flashing, it's just getting a little big for my seahorses
carpenters are nice as well although prone to carpet surfing as are a lot of wrasses

leopard wrasse.

Not the best survival rate though.

I'd say any flasher, though they may jump :(

I think with wrasses it has alot to do with the individual fish. I had a six line as the second addition to my aquarium about 8 months ago, it pecked my cleanser shrimp to death before I could do anything, wouldnt leave my clown alone then died within the week.

I then got a big outburst of flatworm and had tried everything so I got another six-line, he's as good as gold, nice looking fish and good to watch.
Didn't eat any flatworms tho! :mad:

Yep. Really. I had my flasher for several years and he jumped. Lucky I was standing nearby. He landed in a bucket of sand next to the tank. I was able to pop him straight back into the tank. So he was lucky.

He went on to kill all my Lyre Tail Antias. I think because of the similar colouring.

yup conspecific agression is very well documented amongst reef fish
