Fairy and Flasher wrasses thread...

[MarvinsReef]

let's see them... I'm looking forward to seeing this thread w/ lotsa pics as F & F wrasses are probably one of the best fishes to have in a reef tank...

here's a few of my favorites... I've owned quite a few species of F & F wrasses through the years...

paired Golden Rhomboid fairy wrasses

Lineatus fairy wrasse

Laboutei fairy wrasse

I have a psychadellic and a mystery, my red male fairy wrasse died.

Wow, these are cool!!
I've been checking into wrasses lately cause I need to get one for my 16g tank.
I have some monster amphipods who've decided that my palys are tasty, so I need to get a wrasse to keep them in check.
I really like the Fairy and Flasher Wrasses, but they'd be too big for a 16g tank, wouldn't they?
I just have an ocellaris clown in there now, and would love to get some suggestions on wrasse choices from you guys.

flashers tend to be smaller than fairies... I would recommend the McCosker's if you decide to go with flashers... I believe they are the smallest ones in the bunch...

here's a link by Hiroyuki Tanaka about flashers... this article is pretty informative...

I've recently passed on Helfrich's in exchange for flashers...

I will have a rhomboid mabe a pair one day when the oppotunity arrives.

I have a few wrasses. Mc Coskers, lubbocks, bluesided, eightlined flasher which i just gotten, and a lineatus.
Heres my lineatus getting checked out by my sixline. I also have a elegant coris, But he is banned to the frag tank because he could not play nice. LOL

Here's my new supermale eightline flasher in the bag and then acclimating.
He is in hiding. I do see him come out to eat and then go right back in so he is eating well.

I want to finish it off with a flame wrasse and a rhomboid pair
