Dot Dash Flasher Wrasse

[Reginald]

I know alot of people like leopard wrasses and such but I just got my dot dash and I am in love with him. Just wanted to show you all a picture of him.

He is beautiful. How big a tank is he in and with what other fishes?

Ah yes, flashers can have quite the beauty, especially Paracheilinus lineopunctatus. However, comparing a flasher to a leopard is like comparing second cousins. :)

Paracheilinus really need a tank of a least 3 feet in length to give them enough lateral swimming space. And flashers are also quite passive; the concern is generally how other fish will act towards him, not how he'll act towards other fish.

He is in a 60 cube with 4 green chromis (soon to be replaced with bartlett anthias) and midas blenny. I just started up the tank 3 weeks ago. It currently has 36 different frags in the tank. Mostly sps and euphyllias. I know you probably think I am rushing it but lots of things were moved from my old tank and it has enough bacteria and live rock to not go through a cycle.
