Mango_Fish March 20 Share March 20 I have a 40-gallon tank and only has one clown fish and I'm looking to add a couple rasses. I was thinking a melanurus rass and maybe and six line and a leopard rass. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlynamjax March 20 Share March 20 I think it will work. I would probably add leopard first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeguero March 20 Share March 20 The melanurus may get a bit large for the 40. Not sure if others have inputs on that. Also, the six line wrasses are often bullies. YMMV, but have heard plenty of stories of six lines getting mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhOU March 20 Share March 20 for a 40 gallon you may want to consider some of the smaller flasher and fairy wrasses. My Lubbocks fairy wrasse is one of my favorites! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gws3 March 20 Share March 20 Do you have a mesh lid? If not, you'll want to get one first. Wrasses will eventually jump out if not. I second that Melanurus are going to get too big for a 40. They're very active swimmers too. I had a big one in a 8' x 4' tank and he patrolled the whole thing every few seconds. Leopards I don't have experience with, but I believe they need a deep sand bed for long term success. Six line are hit or miss with aggression. I like the recommendation of Lubbocks for a 40. That's a pretty, small and peaceful fish. Any smaller Cirrhilabrus species would likely be a good choice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
