Longevity of fairy and flasher wrasses

[SDguy]

What's the longest you've kept a fairy or flasher wrasse?

My record was just over 5 years with a lubbocks fairy wrasse.

Next was a flame wrasse for 2.5 years.

Really? All the wrasse heads here, and no replies?....

I guess they are too busy drooling over their wrasses, Peter.

I have two Vanuatu pylei, but I have only had them for two months. Almost lost one because they had a pretty bad scuffle. Both are females right now...

I've had a fairy wrasse for just over a year and a half. Knock on wood, he is the most resilient fish I have. He's lived through all of my catastrophic blunders- just buries himself for a while and comes out when he's ready. Now he's out all the time and runs my tank.

I doubt many people would have tanks that are 5+ years old.

I got a clown that is 10 yrs old

My Solar has been in my tank for over 3.5 years. The bulk of my wrasse have only been in my possession for around 2 years because that's when I started the move to a wrasse dominant tank. I just lost my male Bartletts anthias last week. He had been with me over 5 years.
