nope it is a female solorensis..the dark stripe around the gill is a dead give away..i have kept male and females of both solorensis and rubrisquamis..and that is not a rubrisquamis

Also, note the scales on the chest. In C. rubrisquamis they look much different, almost like a chain link fence, in males and females.

It's enough I have to get the coral exhibits ready, but I'm not touching Mitch's hair.

(sorry for the off-topic, folks)

im with wrasseguy 2

 

[wrasseguy2]

it is one of the better looking female solorensis imo..the anal fin has some great color to it

 

[palyam]

well, the experts gave their verdict.. thx guys

if it's a female, can I get a male for it? will they get a long?

 

[wrasseguy2]

what size is your tank?..if it is not too small you should be able to get a male...but i would suggest using a acclimation box to socially acclimate the male..just keep in mind that more times than not female fairys are more aggressive than the males

34 gal, red sea max

 

[wrasseguy2]

i would not add a male then or any other fairy
