Flasher/ Fancy wrasses.

[Reef swimmer]

I'm looking for the different kinds of flasher/fancy wrasses. I know of the red head, yellow fin and the blue sided wrasses. What are the others and where can I find them.

Browse live aquaria or blue zoo for reef safe wrasses. They both have a large selection. I personally like the McCosker's Flasher Wrasse the best.

Linespot, McCosker's and yellow fin flashers are all great!

+1 on McCosker's. Mine is very inquisitive and full of personality.

It's not a flasher wrasse but the mystery wrasse is one of my favorite wrasse species.

I have an exquisite and a Lubbock's wrasse in my 75. I picked up both locally. (Richmond, VA) I hope to add a Carpenter's as well.

I've seen some red velvet wrasses locally and a PetCo not far from me has had a female flame wrasse for quite a while. I've also seen the Lubbock's there (two different color morphs).

I've also seen orange backs in Virginia Beach, VA and Debelius wrasses in Lancaster, PA for sale. I've seen Scott's fairy wrasses a couple of times around as well.

It's not a flasher or fairy wrasse, but I also have a melanarus in my 40. (Got him in Silver Spring, MD.) He used to live in the 75 but I had to remove him due to aggression issues.

As others have said, Live Aquaria stocks a lot of different species.

Some of them I saw are min 90g or a 100g.

Most Paracheilinus spp. (flasher wrasses) stay pretty small, so you could house them in a 55 gal tank or larger.
