    Perhaps, but I've heard far more horror stories than success stories. But that's how that always seems to go...

    Here was a good article on the genus a couple months ago: Small, but Pugnacious: The Pseudocheilinus Wrasses (Full Article) | Details | Articles | TFH Magazine®

    Nice pictures! I'm starting to like them more and more. I've never owned any type of wrasse myself. I'm thinking about it though. I have been the tang, goby, clown, Blenny type.

    WOW Where? Be careful, if this is online it couldb be a cam. 125 should be fine, as long as nothing is overly aggressive.

    No, its legit, just wanted to make sure the 125g would be ok for the pair. I have a sixline now that will go during the transfer. But I started to read everyone was saying about the territory thing.

    I'm not sure where you got the impression of "the territory thing"...

    125 will be fine for a pair. It will also be fine for more Cirrhilabrus, if you desire.

    It will not be fine if the sixline is already in there.

    That post was in regard to the Pseudocheilinus genus (and not the Cirrhilabrus genus); 'twas a bit of a tangent to the original discussion.
