Pintail Fairy Wrasse

[reefin_with_the_fam]

So I just picked this GORGEOUS pintail fairy and I’m curious what is the average going price for these? Just curious if I got a good deal. I paid $80

Maybe the wrasse guru @evolved could weigh in

 

[tautog83]

$80 is a good price for sure

 

[motortrendz]

That's a good deal i paid about 100$ plus shipping

 

[mattzang]

i've seen then a couple times at 40-50, but 80 isn't bad.

I paid double for mine, but he is amazing. You got a great deal

 

[Mal11224]

Definitely a good deal. I paid $90 for mine. Also, hope you have a lid. Wrasses will jump.

 

[nkyreef]

Great deal I paid 90. Fun fish always active.

Paid 60 for mine. Favorite fish by far

 

[evolved]

I paid $350 years ago when they were first available in rather limited numbers.
Pricing is always relative with any species.

I pain 60.00 for one and a friend gave me another one. He ordered from a wholesaler and got several Pintail instead of the wrasse he ordered. Too many Pintail wrasse for his tank. :(

I bought one last weekend for $45. Also got a purple tang for $115.

What kind of cirrhilabrus is this wrasse?

What kind of cirrhilabrus is this wrasse?

Cirrhilabrus isosceles

Cirrhilabrus isosceles

I thought so at first but it lacks the short black line on the dorsal fin. Maybe an opposite sex?

It's there - just not the best lighting in stressed conditions.
