    I wish I had a thousand for a bell's flasher and a Johnson's fairy wrasse... What about Labout's fairy wrasse? Don't they only get 3.5 inches?

    No, that's common mis-information.

    C. laboutei reaches 5 inches in length; too big for you.

    Dang. I think I'll go with a Longfin Fairy Wrasse (C. rubriventralis) or a Lubbocks.
    Thanks!

    $300-350 is my bet. Single males have been selling for $130.

    The lineatus trio will be the most expensive, the marjorie trio won't be terribly far behind; royals will be the cheapest.

    Also noteworthy: female lineatus are sometimes known to get nasty temperaments.
