[myfrostymember]

ok i just lost my flasher wrasse and my lfs has a lubbocks fiary i noticed yesterday= its not the tricolor looking one he is mostly orange with some purple and a couple darker lines in him maybe half way down his body--

should i get him as a replacement of should i wait for another flasher and try again

The flashers and fairy wrasses are almost the same fish. Just a few anatomical differences. Either requires the same care.

What I don't know is why you lost the Lubbocks. There is very little information about your tank so I don't know if adding a new fish will do any better than the previous occupant.

See Fairy Wrasses
and
Flasher Wrasses for details.

You may need to add some nylon screen to keep these leapers in place.
