laboutei vs jordani

[FloridaFishMan]

I want to get a fairy wrasse pair for my 65 gal tank. I like the laboutei and the jordani. Which one would you choose and why? Which ones are hardier?

A 65 might be cutting it close size wise for one of these fish. The Jordani doesn't get as large as a Labouti so I think it would be the better choice if you still decide to add one of these fish.

I have a Labouti in my 150G tank and he is constantly swimming the entire range of a tank this size.

Here is a photo of him:

Thanks Mike I will keep that in mind in my fairy choice.

Here is an 8cm long male of C. laboutei in my home.

I cannot choose, but juveniles or females of both would grow and reach some 8 cm and more in the aquarium. They are equally hardy and easy to keep.
