My pintail was the shy one of my fairys when first in QT with the exquisite, but is turning out to be the boss of the duo now.

Right; it was "new" about 4 years ago. It did get an official description and latin name a couple years ago.Not that new, it's been available in the hobby for quite a while. It's on the chart in the lanceolatus complex
Correct; and I do need to update that graphic accordingly at some point.Yep. C. Shutmani I believe.
They are pretty aggressive. If you had a handful of other fairy wrasses with it, it should be distracted enough not to focus too much on any one particular fairy.is pylei that aggressive?
would something like:
exquisite, katherine, pintail or crescent work with it in 90?
Depends on the species, some are more aggressive than others. A regular lubbocki should be fine though.should i pick any from lubbocki complex ir they too aggressive?
katherine is 4” male already in the tank.
Elite Aquatics, but they don't make them anymore.
Let's see how this goes...
I just want to stress that is NOT the norm with the species. Sometime you can get lucky though, but in general I wouldn't count on it - especially with this species.My Naoko is beautiful and fit beautifully into my tank. Large with plenty of wrasses.
Eeek. Yeah, that's potentially an issue. It's been there for a few months now?I currently have a Solon Wrasse in the DT
Eh, don't. Just stick with one.maybe a pair?
Not advisable, ever I'm afraid. It will get out-competed by the wrasses.Mandarin (my wife's favorite fish, but I fear not fast enough with the wrasses
Yeah, you'll definitely need to be watchful with that one. It's pretty 50/50 at this point, and you may need to remove it.could this be an issue with my stocking plan? I can always banish him to my QT tank if adding others becomes an issue.

Beyond that, your proposed order looks fine.
