Cirrhilabrus cf. cyanopleura, ruby head fairy, a male

Would it be okay in a 60g cube (reef) with a Yellow and Purple (halichoeres leucoxanthus)?

It's compatible with the H. leucoxanthus, but C. cf. cyanopleura is a larger fairy wrasse, so 60g will be a little tight.

I name him Karl.

If he's there on Monday and will work with my current wrasse, I will get it and name it Karl.

Ah...bummer. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I will get it for the 240g.

This guy is still there and I believe it's because they do not have a price tag for it. I'm going after work today and see what they want. 2+ months and still alive at Petco...it deserves a home.

Be sure to QT coming from PETCO

 

[NeuroticAquatics]

Absolutely. It's gotta be bulletproof to last that long, but I'm guessing it's gotta come with something.
