What wrasse next?
 
Hey everyone,

Im looking to get my next wrasse in a few weeks and I was wondering which one you would pick for a 130 gallon reef?

Thanks!

Is the top completely covered?

Mine is about 95% covered with glass tops and at 3 am last night, just before I headed off to sleep, one of my fairy wrasses went carpet surfing. Good thing I stayed up an extra few minutes or it would have been a crispy critter in the morning.

Rhomboid is on the top of my list but if you haven't got a flame yet. Not all amazing wrasses has to be an expensive one, another one of my personal favorite is red or white tail tamarin.

Just realised I put velvet in the poll by accident! Sorry!

I'm really surprised the scotts is the most popular, I would have thought that the lineatus would be the most popular

I recommend the wrasse you like most, not what's popular :)

Word! Buy the fish YOU love not what other people love. The best way to do this is to go to a site that has the most fish listed, like liveaquaria, and look up all the fish you are interested in. Come back to a discussion board and ask specific questions about the fish you like.

I know, and that's what I'll do, I was just curious to see what other people think!
