That tank is way to small for any wrasse. Especially with the fish you already have.

This would be an easier question to answer ignorant posted in your tank journal so I don’t have to keep asking for more information. Other fish being the next i was going to ask

Almost true, you could get a possum wrasse in a 20g tank. Obviously would depend on how many other fish you have in there, but possum wrasses stay small enough.

I loved my possum wrass. Calm peaceful and great personality...

A tiny yellow corris will be more than happy in there imo. I have one in my waterbox cube 20 and in terms of fish it’s really hard to beat that bright yellow streak.

But there’s not many I would put in a 20 and a yellow corris tops the list.

Six Lines have a potential mean streak in them and in a 20 gallon, they potentially could become an even bigger a-hole.
yellow coris wrasse I probably wouldn’t recommend, they can get 4-5” and that’s a pretty big fish for a 20g.

They can get 4-5” is like years away from what I’ve seen. I agree a 20 isn’t a permanent home but a small one is sure to have a year at the least before “requiring” an upgrade. My corris was 1” 1.5 years ago and is now only 3” or so. Maybe I got a small one but there’s plenty of examples of happy corris in under 30 gallons.
