Adding another leopard wrasse

[lcashman]

I am thinking of adding one or two more leopards wrasses to my tank. I have had the current female leopard wrasse in the tank since October of 2005.
I have added a fairy wrasse in May with no problems.
Am I looking at any problems by adding more??

How large is the tank? I am guessing you have a DSB?

if the tank is big enough and mature enough, i wouldnt think that there woudl be a problem. i am also not an expert either.

Dear Lcashman please read my post in this thread : http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18513

I have been there and done that end result the new Leopards were killed by the established Leopard. My tank size is a 72" long 150 gallon tank and their was NO way for the new Leopards to get away & hide I too have added a SixLine to a tank of established Leopards and they Left it alone the sixline has now grown as big as them and frequently attacks them. If you want more than one Leopard Add them all at once. If you have a another established Tank and you can pull the Current Leopard out for 2-3 weeks you could do that them add them all at once But your Once established Leopard will be aggressive to the " Newbies" Been there done it won't go this way again....Dont want to be negative just had some time with Raising them I wish you luck and this is just from what I have learned raising them...You can also Try to get ahold of Red eye Reef ( He has a school of them in a Reef tank) And Kevinpo has allot of experience with them....

how much rock do you have?

 

[lcashman]

I have about 200lbs of rock in my 150 and the tank is about 2 1/2 yrs old. I also have a 4-5 inch sandbed in the tank.
I appreciate all the comments and looks like I will avoid adding another leopard wrasse.

Thanks!!
