female solorensis

Ok ty wrasseguy2..the more i look into it seems its a tough call between female Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura amd female Cirrhilabrus solorensis..either way its a pretty fish-Kieth

 

[wrasseguy2]

the dark markings on the gill plate is a dead give away that it is a female solorensis..it is often sold as a rubyhead and other common names..the solorensis and cyanopleura nad a couple of other fairys are very close in relation and some are color varients so when it comes to some of those yes it can be hard to id but i have kept a few females of both solorensis and cyanopleura and that on you have is a solorensis female
