Stocking some wrasses need input

[Slm222]

I currently have a mccoskers sub male or female and would like to add more. I have a 125 with 2 true percent, midas blenny, long nose flame hawk, two lyretil anthias, marine beta. Here's what I was planning to order.

Red Margin Fairy Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus, 2"-4", Fiji, Male


Sunset Fairy Wrasse - Cebu, Cirrhilabrus pylei var., 2"-3", Western Pacific, Male


McCosker's Flasher Wrasse, Paracheilinus mccoskeri, 1.5"-2.5", Fiji, Male

Of course not all but just spit balling here

Along with a naoko wrasse, labouts, eight line flasher and maybe a Paracheilinus lineopunctatus. Or lubbocks, Cirrhilabrus flavidorsalis, blue margin flasher . So many options. So you see I need your help

Well, I also want to have wrasse in my tank. Here's what I'm leaning towards. McCosker's, Hoeven's and when my tank is very mature a pair of Blue Star Leopard Wrasse!

The red/pink margin is 1 of my favorites, great personality and color. My cf pylei is out and about often and not timid. I also have a cf Cyanopleura and carpenters flasher not on your list. A 125 as well stocked with the above wrasses, a chainlink eel, red firefish, and a purple firefish so far with more additions to come.

I'm mixed on the pylei because I've heard of aggression problems.

C. cf. pylei can be aggressive toward other fairy and flasher wrasses, but can be fine if added later than the others. There may be a little more aggression between the rubrimarginatus and the cf. pylei, due to their close relationship, though I have seen them kept together successfully.

I may strike him off this order and get near the end of the stocking.

Would my current mccoskers wrasse mature around other male, mature wrasses?

Would my current mccoskers wrasse mature around other male, mature wrasses?

Most likely.

My female cf. pylei is no pushover, but she's not aggressive. I wouldn't have my wrasse tank without a Leopard or two. Exquisites are great. Cf. cyanopleura are awesome fish and I have 2 males and they are fine with each other, as well as with the 8line Flasher and a Yellowfin Flasher male. If I had a 125, I would have a ton more wrasses, not many other type fish other than gobies and things which really don't add to bioload compared to the pooping machines, I mean wrasses.

Thanks all. I think this order I'm doing the Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus and a yellow fin flasher male to add with my mccoskers. Along with an additional two females lyretil anthias to add to my male and female. Now I need to figure out which to add next order.
