Wow bronco those are sweet. Good luck. Seeing how deep they live how do you think they will do in a brightly lit aquarium?
 
Here's a couple pics of the fairy wrasses I have. Just got the pink margin from Live Aquaria a week ago.

PhilWD,

I think they will adjust in the same fashion that many of the other deep water fairies adjust to captive circumstances. I have owned many deep water subjects like rhomboids, pyle's & Girdled fairy wrasses and they all do just fine. Plus if you have a well stocked aquarium with rocks they will have many of the same comforts of home. I'll let you know once I have them in my possession.

Nice pink margin, I was thinking of buying one from them. Was that flame from live aquaria as well? And what do you feed them?

The flame was from justrarefish.com. I got a pair from Tom, just haven't taken a picture of the female yet. Will get that soon though. I feed frozen mysis, brine, cyclopeeze, and spectrum pellets.
 
about how many fairy wrasses would i be able to keep in a 75g tank?

I was thinking 1 male filamented, with two females

maybe a carpenters or two,

a laboutis,

im not sure which one the dot and dash wrasses are

at my LFS where i work, there are soooooooooo many different kinds of fairy wrasses that i had my mind set on purchasing some filamented, but then wanted to wait to make sure which ones i actually want

the flasher wrasses are SICK, especialy the filamented, there was this bright purple one at work where he would flare up , and it was awesome\

what do you guys think?
 
Dont think so, mine sleeps on the sandbed wedged under a rock. I have seen pictures of some living in burrows in the sand though, like gobies.
 
At my LFS, amazingly they had it for over a month, but I had no room. Then my midas blenny died and I replaced it with this. It was around $50-60 (Ã"šÃ‚£30).
It was so shy, i guess thats why it didn't sell for so long, but nows its very friendly and dashes around the tank like mad. But I've had to save it a few times after it went carpet surfing, twice i managed to catch it in mid air!
 
lol honestly I'm pretty thankful he's only jumped while ive been there, 3 times in all! It's because he gets over excited when i feed and flashes and swims as fast as he can to the food, and then he keeps going!!
