FLASHER WRASSE QUESTION

would i be able to keep on in a 25 gallon? i was thinking of a blue flasher wrasse or a carpenters


Edit: tank dimensions 36"x13"x13"

Either or should be fine in a 25.

sweet good to know

You may or may not know that most smaller ornamental wrasses are prone to be jumpers and tend to go carpet surfing if they get spooked. Just something to think about.

I have 2 filimented flasher wrasses in my 75gal, very cool fish, and the only time it jumped was when I was reaching in to get a frag.. and man o'mighty I was glad that I had a tulle' frame comvering it!!

They will jump through eggcrate and bird netting, that's why I used tulle (wedding vail material), doesn't block light, works great and inexpensive

I have a Lunare Wrasse in my 75g fowlr and a similar thing happen to me except I had the eggcrate cover removed for some tank maintenance and I must have scared the heck out of him cause he lept in the air and landed on the oversize workbench were the tank is sitting on in the basement. Of course it was at the back by the wall, not the side or the front where he would have been easy to get at. I scooped him up as quick as I could and slipped him back in his home. He hasn't tried that trick again.

i built a wooden top for the tank a little while ago so im not too worried about jumpers

So then it sounds like all you have to do is decide which one you're going to get. Decisions, Decisions.
