Eight Line flasher, royal flasher, yellow flanked, and blue throat

So a local reefer has them all for sale. All in a tank similar to mine. 75 gallon.currantly have a pair of clowns and a small bristletooth tang. Do you think I can get away with adding them all or do you think the bluethroat will become a menace going into a new tank?

You may be able to add them all if the blue throat fairy goes in last. The temper of these fish will greatly depend on;
- territory
- Diet/How often they’re fed and how much
- Length of time being in the tank

Ok thanks. I might not get the blue throat I keep reading horror stories. As far as the yellow flanked wrasse I keep seeing 90 gallons or larger..... Should I skip him as well?

Do you mean Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura? Or a different species?

Again, it’s the same as the Cyanogularis. But I find these guys prefer slightly more height than some other fairies.
