Golden Coris Wrasse (1 Viewer)

[pernelf]

The fish population in my 75 gallon is kinda sparse, lots of swimming room. Current fish are a purple tang, purple firefish, 1 female lyretail anthias and a pair of golen coris. I'm thinking of adding some more coris as they add a lot of color and movement. How many do you think would be safe to add to get a little harem going?

14 should do it

my golden coris are out all day long until it's night time, then they go bury down in the sand.

I've had 2 of those wrasses, they're cool fish. I don't know how many you could add before trouble started brewing.

My 6-line wrasse (aka Pyjama Wrasse) is ALWAYS in the open, except when it goes to bed. It never has buried itself or laid on the sand. It's a very active swimmer....it's not mean either. It's the very first fish I ever put in my 75g and is still going strong. I've had it in there now....let's see....3 yrs and 5 mos. Dang! I have heard others not liking 6-line wrasses, as they say they have been aggressive, but mine has never bothered anyone, so who knows.

Mine's cool. I love wrasses, though. They are so beautiful.
