Makes sense, thanks.They are both within the temminkii complex or clade, but ggeneticaly tee-off within the clade.

IME gender doesn't alleviate much. In some cases females can be more aggressive than their male counterpars. Also, Cirrhilabrus have a propensity to transition into males, and it seems fairy wrasses are all too well aware of this.In your experience, how heavily does gender factor in when mixing? For example, say I have a male "green" and two female "yellow" species, would you agree that adding another "green" more timid species will be less likely to be an issue if it's done before the "yellow" transition male? And would it be better if the new addition is female as well, or male?
Yes, that should be fine.I have a Lubbocks wrasse already, so based off this chart I should be ok with adding an exquisite wrasse right?
Awesome thanks!Yes, that should be fine.
Thanks Bruce. And that kinda sounds like a MACNA topic, yes?I can't tell you how many times I've consulted that chart. Truly, an invaluable resource.
(You're going to have to update one of these years ... they keep finding new species!)

I downloaded this chart on my phone and put a shortcut to in on my home screen. It's awesome! I would love a similar chart for Paracheilinus but I guess they might have different dynamics so a chart might not be as useful.
For the temminckii complex(es?)... Is it one group that has 2 different aggression levels? Or 2 separate ones? Like are cyanopleuria and balteus as closely related as cyanopleuria and punctatus (for example)?
Eh, yes. The same. And separate.So they are separate groups? I wasn't sure if they were just split based on aggression or if they were actually seperate.

Agree; gender doesn't matter much.IME gender doesn't alleviate much. In some cases females can be more aggressive than their male counterpars. Also, Cirrhilabrus have a propensity to transition into males, and it seems fairy wrasses are all too well aware of this.
They are not in the same complex, and neither has a terrible attitude. They should be fine together, though I would try to get the hooded into the dt first.I'm guessing that a flame and hooded wouldn't get along very well?
They're in a somewhat aggressive complex to begin with, however this particular species is a bit of an outlier in its complex as it is quite a bit more aggressive than the complex average. So all-in-all, pretty aggressive.Where do Naoko wrasse sit on your species of aggressive fair wrasse?
How big is the tank? Near 200 gallons or more and they're fine together.I am in the process of buying another tank.. this time big enough for more wrasses lol. Based on this chart they all look pretty close to being ok. The one that's close, looks like the Rhomboid and Lineatus. What do you guys think?
I am getting the Red Sea Reefer Peninsula P650, so display is around 150. If I have to choose between them I can .How big is the tank? Near 200 gallons or more and they're fine together.
That tank is closer to 175g; you should be fine. I kept the two together in a 190 (60x27x27) and it wasn't a problem.I am getting the Red Sea Reefer Peninsula P650, so display is around 150. If I have to choose between them I can .
This chart is 10 days away from being outdated anyway.This may be a stupid question, but how do I make the chart large enough to read? I'm sure its something simple I am missing but every way I attempt to enlarge it, it becomes fuzzy.
