Cirrhilabrus laboutei

[epicurus84]

Currently i have a pair of Cirrhilabrus laboutei (i don't know the english name ) in my aquarium.

I combined this with Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis which goes fine, even doh i proberbly got two males (one laboutei and one aurantidorasalis) but i'm thinking of adding a mandrin fish to my tank. Will that work, since i've heared that somethinges these fish will bully the mandrin to death.

my worry would be about them competing for the 'pods in your tank. how large is the system?

how large is your tank??..the fairys are not going to compete with the mandarin for pods but a large tak with plenty of live rock and a fuge will be key for the mandarin to make it as they do eat all day long

At the moment i got around 40 kg 88 pound of live rock.

Also i got an atrificial pilar made out of dead live rock that is a good host for pods, but its not in the system long enough to have loads of pods in it yet.
