Anyone know how faded a single male Scott's Fairy Wrasse will get?

I'm curious how much the color will change without a female present.

If he does fade, if I add a female at a later time, will his color come back? Also in a 180G would it be OK to add a female at a later date, or would the male be to aggressive?
Thanks

The "blue" fairies will fade more than "red" fairies but I don't know how to quantify. Also, Scott's is one very mean fish, so be aware before adding.

Thank's Steve.

I knew they were aggressive to other wrasse's, but are you saying they are agressive to all tankmates?

I think he means when you add the female later on?

I was hoping that's what he meant. Thanks

They are aggressive to most all small fish including other wrasses, dartfish, anthias, etc.
