cirrhilabrus rosefascia with leopard wrasses?

[skraj011]

will an established male ~4" rose banded fairy wrasse be ok with 2" female leopard wrasses in a 90 with lots of rock?

It should be fine, there usually isn't much aggression between Cirrhilabrus and Macropharyngodon. Be aware the roseafascia will get significantly larger.

Agree, and roseafascia is also known to become quite aggressive with other Cirrhilabrus with age (fwiw).

Exceptionally aggressive. Females as bad if not worse, than males.

I have not had aggression issues the couple of times I have kept, or dealt with them, but experiences vary.

haven't seen him act aggressively to other species, but have never had him with another wrasse of any genus.

Aggression and size aside, what have your experiences been with roseafascia. I finally got one about a year ago from BlueZoo after looking for quite a while. I think they're beautiful.
