Waite at least a month to add anything new to your tank, ich can be quite tough to rid a tank of, some people would insist on waiting longer than even a month, better to be safe than sorry. Red Coris wrasses are sand bed sleepers, they literally sleep under the sand, so if you have any predators in a tank that dwell on the sand bed, you have to be ver wary about addind a red coris wrasse to the tank. Recommendations online for minimum tanks size for this fish range from 55 gallons to 125, but I personally wouldn't put it in a tank smaller than 90 gallons, after all this fish can get up to 14" long. They are carnivores, so meaty foods are a must.

some info i found doent look good for a novice though(not saying you are )

General Size Specifications: The small size will come to you generally 1 to 2 inches; the medium generally 3 to 4 inches; the large generally 5 to 6 inches.
Minimum Tank Size: The Red Coris Wrasse (Adult) prefers a tank of at least 150 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim.
Diet: The Coris gaimard is a carnivore and likes to eat variety of chopped meats (flatworms, clam, crab, scallop, shrimp, squid, urchins).
Level of Care: The Red Coris Wrasse (Adult) is a medium maintenance fish.
Behavior: The Red Coris Wrasse (Adult) may act aggressively toward other fish.
Hardiness: this is a moderately hardy fish
Water Conditions: Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F).
Range: Fiji, Hawaii.
General Notes: Coris gaimard or the Red Coris Wrasse appears very closely in coloration to the Formosa Wrasse as a juvenile but has little to no pronounced black markings on it's anal and dorsal fins. As an adult it has a very different but still spectacular transformation that is well appreciated in any fish only system. This specimen is very hardy and is not usually aggressive toward other fishes though it is reported they may sometimes harass fish that are very much smaller. Provide fine substrate of 3-4 inches for them to burrow in as this is where they sleep.



lovely looking fith though

well I didn't say I was going to get fish tommrow or anything superman. I am going to wait awhile to make sure the ich is gone for good. the only thing I Have that lives in the sand is my horse shoe crab I don't think he would hurt the coris wrasse but I don't know. The tank is 120 gallons which would be plenty big enough.

I didn't mean to come of as nasty, I apologize that I came off that way. It is a very cool fish, and would likely be an awesome "show fish" as it is a constant swimmer and would give you hours of enjoyment. Let us know how things go. Take care.

The only thing that kills me with those is the cost of them. As pretty as they are they would burn and small hole in your pocket if your tank wasn't in a good condition and you added it. that is why I would make sure the ick problem is gone and everything is as it should be before I added one of those pretty things. its ok superman there are some idiots on here who would add before the ick was gone but I prefer to do things right and no lose fish to stupidity. its not worth it. I will have to post pictures of my tank sometime

Would love to see pictures of your tank We have a 135, a 55 and a 44. Could look at them all day long if I didn't have to work.

I will have to get them off the digital camera and post them. I just can't wait for this ick problem to go away its a big pain. I wish I could watch the tank at night but I don't want to leave the lights on because they can make ich worse from what I read.

If you want to watch your tank at night, a flashlight with a red lens is a good means of watching the tank without causing much disruption at all.

Yay almost all of the ick off the fish is gone and all are alive. Looks like it pays off to do research. only my butterfly fish has a few spots left which will probably go away soon.
