    Nice! I have zero experience creating an infographic, but I think when they are done right, they are very nice and useful.

    I had my fingers crossed that there might be a little bit of hope that I could do something to give it a better chance. It pisses me off that fish like this are being collected and sent to wholesalers. Now I know I'm going to watch this gorgeous fish slowly starve to death. :(

    I have a detailed list on my computer and a cheat sheet on my phone with info from this thread. I have learned so much from it and I always refer to it when I'm shopping.

    ID help please. I picked up a couple of fish from a guy breaking down a tank and I'm not sure exactly what they are. Apologies in advance for the lousy photos. My QT doesn't have the best lighting and I'm just using my cell phone camera.

    I think this first one is a female Cirrhilabrus solorensis. There was a male in the tank that someone else took home.

    I think the second is some sort of Paracheilinus, but I'm not sure which one. Thoughts?

    First is a male Cirrhilabrus cf. cyanopleura; commonly called the "Ruby Headed Fairy".

    Second is a young Cirrhilabrus rubriventrailis.

    Thanks for the quick response! The Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura and the male Cirrhilabrus solorensis were sold to the original owner as a pair of Cirrhilabrus exquisitus. They were freebies and will make a nice addition to the main tank once they get through QT.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but can I ask your option about something. I have a 65g tank with a H. Biocellatus, McCoskers and Linespot. The Biocellatus picks on the Linespot, but the two flashers get along. I have the chance to add a Diamond Tail Flahser, but is this too many or would it help distract the Biocellatus?

    Other tank mates are two mated Perc clowns, FireFish and a YWG.

    Should be okay and help disperse some aggression too.

    Just bought a "Halichoeres hortulanus", or marble wrasse and have found no real information on the species. Great fish but am watching close for signs of it eating inverts or shrimp.

    Any experience with this species?
