Fairy Wrasse (Labout/Flame)

[train_ga]

I have two Female Labout in a 125G Reef.

What are thoughts on adding 2 or 3 female flames to the mix?

Am i playing with fire, no pun intended, well maybe a little?

I have several wrasse species together with no problems. Labout and flames are the same (generally) peaceful genus, so they should be fine. You might get some gender changing in the future though

You should be fine; the tank is large enough (and presumably covered, of course )

Labouti can get a bit aggressive once mature, however. And it's also worth noting any of your females may one day transition, too.

Do you need to have a sand bed for this wrasse?

All Cirrhilabrus wrasse sleep in the rock-work in a mucus cocoon; no sand required.
