Is my 65g tank too small for this wrasse?

[ma_reef]

I came home from the LFS last night with something that I hadn't researched ahead of time. Instead of a Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse, I came home with what they called a Striped Wrasse - and looking online it appears to be a Yellow-Flanked Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lyukyuensis). It looks really cool and I would like to keep it. It's in a 10g QT at the moment. Is this fish going to be alright in my 65g tank or is that size tank too small? I am new to this hobby; Is it only bioload that I need to worry about, or is it also a matter of having enough space for the fish to move around in, or something else? Thanks in advance for any input you can provide!

Your tank's a little on the small side. I have a Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura which is very similar. He's coming out of quarantine tomorrow and going into a 180g. Your C. lyukyuensis may do okay in your tank, but I wouldn't of purchased him for a 65. Space can be just as important as bioload.

Agreed. What other fish are in the tank?

I only have one percula clownfish and two pajama cardinalfish in the tank so far.

No issues with those fish. Good luck.
