Cleaner wrasse

So here is a question for everyone. What do you think about having two cleaner wrasse in a tank. I already have a common cleaner wrasse and I would like to add a Hawaii cleaner wrasse. I was told only one per tank and others say they can have more than one. What does everyone think?

I've had zero luck with cleaner wrasse and believe it is a fish that should be left in the ocean.

Buck I initially heard that too. I guess I'm lucky because I've had this cleaner wrasse for over a year and its going good.

Have the fish store feed them. If one eats that's the one you want. If they do not take to prepared food they will starve to death.

Good luck

I got a cleaner wrasse from Ideal Aquatics for $10.00.  The little guy is awesome.  It eats like a beast and likes to clean all the fish.  It even picks on my arms when I reach in the tank. I have heard they even eat Ich parasites, but I wouldn't rely on them to eradicate a tank.  Still a really cool fish and very pretty.

My main concern is are the specie friendly with each other or will they kill one another. I did do some research and it's a mix review. Just wondering if anyone have kept two in a tank successfully.
