Picked up the Lineatus few weeks ago. The pink margin flashed and chased and nipped, so I put it into a smaller tank for a week and put it back to main tank and they seem fine for now...

Thanks. He is the smallest wrasse in my tank, even smaller than my Blue, Yellow Fin, and McCosker's Flashers.That exquisite in the background is exquisite.

Yeah, that one is quite nice!That exquisite in the background is exquisite.
It'll work for a while. They might even spawn for a period of time. But then one day, things won't be so great. At that point, you may only have a few days to intervene before the now transitioning younger male has a death match with the older male.I know that the Veteran Wrasse Keepers recommended not to try to pair Fairies and Flashers. Still, I want to try. I do have other systems. When the female turn male I will either sell him or else keep him in another system.
What do you guys and gals think?
Wow that exquisite is so much more colorful than mine!OK. I promise not to post a picture of this wrasse unless I have one that I think is better than the last one.The Exquisite Fairy just zip by at what seem to be 100 mph. He is very beautiful too.
Can confirm, when fairys go nasty, they REALLY GO NASTY! To the point the c. lubbocki I was talking about a few days ago was pecking constantly at the c. cyanopleura while pinned against rock / glass, and that had a solid inch and quite a bit more girth than it. I couldn't imagine if it was another lubbockiYeah, that one is quite nice!

Sometimes it works. It certainly can, but because it typically doesn't, I always advise against it.I actually have two Lubbocki in my tank. Two males. They have been together for the last year. They fight a lot but not to the point of killing each other.
New sheriffs are fun, new serial killers are not.
