Are these two wrasses both C. Isosceles?

[i cant think]

My LFS has two wrasse - 1 has certainly got blood of C. isosceles in however the other I’m assuming it is. The LFS has no clue on the second, or if the first is a hybrid Isosceles x Lunatus.
Here’s the first one:

And the second:

Just tell him you want a discount on both.

second one is the one to buy….
looks african.

could be a diamond tail or a kwazulu
hard to tell from pics

yeah, he said that the second was from africa
Here’s a slightly better image of it

 

[i cant think]

I’m actually getting closer to it being a diamond tail flasher, if it is (I said it may be a c. Naokoae female earlier so it may be sold as that) if it’s still there next week and it’s sold as a naokoae fairy, I’ll try grab it. VERY pretty as males

that spot near the tail is usually an indicator

Is it an indicator to it being a Diamond tail?

 

[i cant think]

Okay, I found a video and zoomed in on her tail - Is this an indicator to Diamond tail flasher??

 

[i cant think]

I really wish I picked her up now or atleast reserved her till next week.

I’ve seen other indicators on it being a flasher aswell:
- Her body isn’t curved like the normal fairy wrasse look, and yes I know most fairys have this (I own 4 fairy wrasse, 2 are Lubbock’s, 1 is a Scott’s, 1 is a naoko)
- Her dorsal fin wasn’t constantly flapping like the normal fairy wrasse look either

She swims more like a flasher than a fairy aswell

I would say the bottom could be a female naoko but females don’t have red heads so maybe it’s a female kenyan

The second one is a female C. africanus.

Thanks for the definite identification - I don’t find Kenyans quite as nice as other wrasses from Africa so I’ll probably avoid her, plus they have a male Kenyan in the tank right next to her and I only have room for one more wrasse so I may end up with a pintail if it goes for a reasonable price tag

The Kenyans (we call them Kwazulus here) are uncommon, but I agree I like the Pintails more.

Yeah, and even if I was to go with the africanus I’d probably have to keep the naoko in the nano or give it back - I have had this naoko for around 6 months, it’d be hard to give him back

 

[Mr Cypher]

the first one looks like my splendid pintail fairy wrasse

Yeah, it definitely has blood of a splendid however the LFS said it could also be a hybrid - C. lunatus x C. isosceles

 

[Mr Cypher]

I would have to see under whites cuz that looks just like mine lol sorry for bad pics he doesn't like to sit still

They’re so nice looking, I’m tempted on it if it’s there tomorrow. Just the risk on the Scott’s (Although, I did manage to successfully add a lubbocki that now flashes every night and pulls an awesome display ever time)
