    Oh, and you could do 3 males from different species. You don't need any females.

    There are only a couple of female Fairy Wrasses that most would call attractive, so you are not alone there. Hunter should get back to you within a day I would think.

    The advice in here thus far is quite sound; Marshall has steered you the right way. :)

    To elaborate a bit and quote myself from the other thread:
    Those of the lubbocki complex were listed by Marshall:
    I would avoid C. adornatus however; probably too aggressive if you desire a Paracheilinus or two.

    I appreciate all your help so far. Could you tell me the common names of the wrasses I could go for and mix. I would like two.

    The problem with common names Jot is that many wrasse can share the same common name, or there are 12 common names for each fairy wrasse and that can cause confusion and mis-stocking.
