yes you can mix them together.

do note that rhomboids are very peaceful, while lineatus are quite boisterous when big and acclimated to the tank.

preferably to mix them in a 3ft tank and above. occasional chasing and flashing but remove them when it gets too terrible until one of them hides and do not dare to come out.

once a fairy wrasse hides from aggression, it is difficult to let them regain confidence enough to come out of hiding.

and a hood is mandatory, lest you want to come home to a crispy wrasse on your floor.

ok actually i got this problem now.

my rhomboid swims upside down and has torn fins.

like something is bitting it but i cant seem to be able to pin point.

the lineatus is the one that got closest to it. but then it did not bite it.

they are in a 5ft tank. the lineatus is slightly bigger.

the rhomboid is still coming out to feed and swim around.

this problem only happened after i introduce the lineatus.

other fishes in the tank include a sohal, yellow tang, 2 black clowns, ,peppermint shrimps, cleaner shrimps and several blennies and gobies.

i am guessing its either the lineatus or the black clowns.

yeap... any idea whats wrong?

how often does it happen and what's the duration of it's swimming upside down?

sounds to me like swim bladder problems or internal problems which is very common in rhomboids and lineatus. they will feed but soon after, stop feeding and die.

hope yours is not the case.

almost all the time. its like having problems staying straight up. often it will just "float" around with the current.

any medication or any thing i can do to save this poor fish?

Try feeding prazi soaked food since the fish is eating. Hopefully it heals, internal problem is v hard to cure most of the times.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
