While usually pretty good LA isn't infallible.
@eatbreakfast , you see what kind of wrasses I'm looking for. Any suggestions? I'm new to this and there is probably quite a few cool fish that I'm totally unaware of that would work.

Amazing. Thanks! wonder why liveaquaria would list them as peaceful if they aren't.
I highly recommend the exquisite wrasse.@eatbreakfast , you see what kind of wrasses I'm looking for. Any suggestions? I'm new to this and there is probably quite a few cool fish that I'm totally unaware of that would work.

Do you have budget?
I have same size tank. As far as fairies and flashers are concerned try any in the Lunatus group - Pintail, Brunneus, Johnsoni or Crescent tail. They are all pretty peaceful. Rhomboids, Lineatus and Pink Margin would be good. Flames. Any of the flashers. There are lots out there that would work but alot is personal preference too.
most of the Flashers are under $70 but some fairies are as well. Most variants of the Exquisites are about that price. The Vanuatu variant is hard to come by. Its my understanding that there are not a lot of fish coming out of Vanuatu presently. The Fijian or south pacific variant has a red dorsal that is beautiful. You can also find a Pintail for about that price now days as well. I would suggest buying females or young males. Cheaper and you get to watch them transition. Always fun. Good luck!I have a budget as much as if I mention the price of a fish to my wife and she pauses, I know that fish might be a bridge too far. Trying to stay within the $70 or under range. I might be able to get away with a $100 fish if I lead into the conversation correctly. LOL!
Yeah, I've been looking at those. The one from Vanatu is nice, but LA doesn't have them in stock.
Yeah. I like the pink in the body but as they get older the orange really pops in the finsThe African one is almost as nice and much more readily available!

Where do leopard wrasses fit in all of this?
The running joke around my house when someone asks my wife how much this fish or that coral costs....."about $20". Cracks my wife up.
They are peaceful. Some species don't ship well...especially males. If you get a healthy one and you can get it to eat, they are quite hardy and lots of fun. I have a Potter's wrasse that I've had for almost 5 years and I love him....got it as a her.
He's the one on the left.
It depends on a lot of factors, but possibly 5-8 fairy wrasses in a 90g.
I have 6 in my RSR450 (92g display) without problems. Introductions were a little dicey, but they all got used to each other. Linneatus, Rhomboid, Flame, Labouti, Velvet Multicolored & Pintail Isosceles.
i would guess that or the LaboutiI'm guessing the Velvet Multicolor was the biggest instigator?
i would guess that or the Labouti
Honestly, none are that bad. They all chase each other a bit. The Flame is probably the most dominant, but the Velvet Multicolor was the worst when my Pintail escaped it's acclimation box. Had to leave the lights off for a day to let them chill out. There is occasional chasing between the Flame and the Velvet and the Labouti gets chased by the Rhomboid but nothing serious at all. Surprisingly, the biggest, the Lineatus, is a total chicken, he tries to jump out of the tank if I move too suddenly when I feed them. I had to seal the top very tight to keep everyone in.i would guess that or the Labouti
