Just curious, the charts would appear to say no, but I wanna make sure. I have a male solon wrasse that looks amazing. I am a big fan or the orange back wrasse. Can they be put together on a standard 150 gal tank ?

You most likely would have some aggression issues. If you plan to add them it would be best if they were on the smaller/juvenile side. I would use an acclimation box when adding the second one. This will give you a sense of aggression from the start. Eventually you may have an issue with one or the other as they mature.

Would they be the only 2 fairies? If so there will be more focused attention by the dominant one to the subordinate one. But if there are other fairies, this serves as a distraction. These social interactions though result in brighter colors and fascinating displays.

I have both species together in a 120g I take care of with minimal issues.

Utilizing a social acclimation box for introduction is recommended.
