Cirrhilabrus jordani

[RDtrack]

Thinking of getting a Flame Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus jordani) to house with my Marjorie Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus marjorie) in a 75 Gallon. Do you think I'll have any agression issues?

I currently have the Marjorie housed with a variety of leopard wrasse.

Thanks

Probably not, but I'd use an acclimation box for 2-3 days in order to make sure.

Also, a 75 is borderline in size for a flame wrasse, IMO.

Also I would consider the sex of each fish, and if either is a super male.

I would say a 125 is small, definitely 24 high minimum. I have a harem in my 120 1m 5f and it looks small when the male starts flashing. If I could do it again it would be at least 6 feet minimum to give them room for what they do.

Thanks for the responses.

My Marjorie is I believe in it's intial phase where as the flame I was looking at is male (not sure if it is a supper male or not).

I'm going to pass on the flame. It was a very good price at the LFS but after looking at the fish more closely it looks like the hunchback of ND. Not sure what happen to it but it appears to have a kink in it's back. It's been there 2 weeks and is eating but probably not worth the risk.
