is this a cleaner wrasse?

Post by stormer99 »

so can i keep one of them. also, i've got my eye on a coflake beauty and a hi fin clown goby - would that be too many fish for my 140L tank, considering i already have 2 clown fish and 1 dart fish.

Not a fan of cleaner wrasse in home tanks, they rely on big fish to pick off parasites, so I'd advise against one in a 140L. You should be okay with the coflake beauty and hi fin clown goby though.

Totally on board with rileyon's take on cleaner wrasse - they're a nightmare to keep in captivity, and I mean, who needs that kind of stress, right? The feeding requirements alone would be a huge ask for a 140l tank, unless you're rocking some serious water treatment. That being said, I think the coflake beauty and hi fin clown goby would be a great addition - no issues there.
