More than one type of wrasse in a tank?

[BL1]

I've been trying to decide what fish I want to start my tank with and I know I want a Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Leopard Wrasse, they're so cool looking but, then I saw this guy Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Exquisite Fairy Wrasse - Reef Safe So, is this one of those situations where I would have to pick one or the other or would I be able to add both?
Thanks!

You could keep both. Those guys will be peaceful with each other.

Sweet, thanks Biff! That decision is a little easier now

How hard are the leopard wrasses to keep?? My wife loves them, but i don't want to fight to keep them alive. Like you would a mandarin. Do they tend to eat better than a MD?Sorry if I am hijacking here.

They're listed as expert only becuase they usually only eat live food but, once you get them eating frozen they are no harder to keep than any other wrasse

 

[pheasant29]

Ya, that's what i figured. Are they as hard as a MD to get eating frozen tho?

 

[BL1]

I can't speak from experience but, I do think people have more luck getting them to eat frozen then MD

I think it varies with each individual fish. My leopard wrasse took to frozen food immediately. If I had to guess, I'd say they are easier to get eating than mandarins, just because they aren't as shy or timid as mandarins.

The Vanuatu Exquisite is damn exquisite for sure.I guess I can only dream because I can't put a top on my tank.

Over on RC,there are some wrasse fanatics with multiple wrasses sometimes even 10 or more different species.
