Fairy Wrasse Compatibilty

[Madoktopus]

yo all! i have a weird wrasse (very timid) which i bought labelled as "parrot wrasse" which i defo think is a fairy (its 6 colors, predominantly red with long flowing fins similar to that of a tropical siamese fighter) my question is would a sixline or a seafighter bully it or nip its fins?


sorry no pic yet madok.

If its fairy wrasse, 6-lines are notoriously hard on them.

Sounds more like you have a flasher wrasse and not a fairy.

Is this what you have: http://www.marinedepotlive.com/red-parrot-fairy-wrasse---cirrhilabrus-rubripinnis-fish--wrasses.html

I agree with others, you can't keep fairy/flasher wrasses with six lines.

no thats not it although that is extreamly beautiful. thanks guys any more input?

 

[Madoktopus]

i found it i think it is a red morph of Paracheilinus filamentosus.
ok my question is would it get on with social wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis) or yellow wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)?

I think the social and yellow wrasse would be OK with the flasher wrasse.

I have 2 Cirrhilabrus wrasses and 1 Halichoeres wrasse in my tank and they all get along fine.
