Hello everyone. A seller sent me pictures of some fairy wrasses, but I am not sure which species they are. Can someone enlighten me please?

Please excuse the quality, as these were what I got from him.

Thank you!
 
1. probably Cirrhilabrus joanallenae
2. C. lubbocki
3. probably C. adornatus

Thank you for the IDs! I may be interested in the Joan's wrasse. Will he (I assume it's a male) play nice with a C. Temminicki? 8' tank so lots of room.

P.S. How much does a Joan's usually cost? He offered me a price but I'm not sure if it's a good price or not?

Probably; they're both a bit on the moderately aggressive side but pretty evenly matched so I'd expect it to work out okay.

Thank you.

The Temminicki, when introduced a few months ago, got chased around by the melanurus for 2-3 days (no physical damage), then they just went on their own merry way. Both are now healthy and active. The Temm is especially friendly, always coming to greet onlookers at the tank.

From what I've gathered on the web, the price that's offered to me seems to be quite fair.

I hope that adding the Joan's will work out just as well, if/when we decide to get it. Will keep this updated.
