    I think that's the point.....cut and paste the scientific name into google and it should give you the info. you're looking for.

    Exactly. I don't put much merit on common names. They vary from person to person, by region, by reseller, etc.

    So to help you out, I strongly recommend a C. Lubbocki (Lubbock's) as a "starter" Fairy Wrasse. Then maybe two Flasher Wrasses. I really like P. carpenteri (Carpenter's Flasher), P. lineopunctatus (Linespot Flasher) and P. rubricaudalis (Red Tail Flasher), but you can't go wrong with any of them really.

    Then once you become addicted, you can upgrade to a 6' long tank and basically get any that you want :)

    Thanks Marshall. I wish I could upgrade my wife's having none of it!! We've got our first child on the way this year so I'm stuck with what I've got!!

    I thought the same a year ago. Just set my 55 up when we had our first. Now a year later, I am in the process of moving everything over from the 55 to a 125. It makes a big difference after you get your spouse involved, and see what awesome species you can only house in a larger tank ;) The 65 will do you just fine for now though.
