The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

I am looking to get some wrasses for my 180 and was wondering if wrasses will stay a "pair" or eventually will they all turn to male? I am thinking of the pintail fairy wrasse to start with. TIA

Thanks for the article. I saw a “pair” for sale. So I guess I will pass and just get a male instead.

Can someone help me out? Is the C. Lanceolatus the same as C. Isosceles?

No they are difference species.
Before C. isosceles was named, it was called Cirrhilabrus cf. lanceolatus. The abbreviation cf. comes from the Latin word conferre, which means “compare to” or “confer.” Basically it mean that this is a new species that have similar form comparable to this named species.

Looking for suggestions on a wrasse or two for my 50 gallon bare bottom? Any suggestions

I've got an Ornate, Blue-Star, Black leopards and a China Wrasse. I absolutely love them. I've already compiled a list of all the other Leopards and Anampses wrasse I intend on getting in the future. Mine have ended up almost schooling together in a sense.

Depends on the size of your tank. A lot of the time male Leopards may not tolerate other male Leopards.
