Fairy wrasse collectors

[Ryan15236]

Not really looking for a set couple but more like what are some ones I should look into. Fairy wrasses that are pretty easy to keep and not real aggressive or can be kept with another fairy wrasse and maybe ones that maintain good coloration . I apologize I just have never kept fairy wrasses and would like to avoid any mistakes that could be prevented. Also what does the terminal and initial phase mean? Is this referring to the sex of the fish as in terminal that it changed to male or female or does terminal mean like the adult coloration?

All wrasses start as female then turn to male. Initial is the first stage in the male transition, the terminal and 2nd/last male stage is often referred to as the super males and have the bold bright colors. Look under the fish section on here as there are some great wrasse threads.
