Lovely exquisite!

Hoping to find one of those for my own tank . . . they're a favorite.

You should be able to safely add both those without upsetting things.

Sometimes, though, tomini tangs will behave aggressively toward wrasses. That is not usually the case, but has been something I have observed on occasion.

Thanks, do you think I am pushing the bio-load with that many fish? Maybe not right away, but as they get bigger is what I am concerned about.

Each tank is different as far as what it can handle regarding bioload. Just test frequently and you will know.

My H. melanurus and new C. rubripinnis swimming about today. So hard to get clear shots of these guys.

So I'm looking to add a Linespot flasher and this one showed up on DD today. Is that notch in the tail fin normal, the other one they had posted earlier had the same deal. Also is one of the dorsal spines broken?

 

[Maritimer]

That tail-notch is a healing nip or other minor injury. Looks as though the fin's about half grown back, but hasn't yet colored back in.

3.1 inches according to Wikipedia, sounds about right though. Nice fish BTW.

ID please. Was told it was a C. Jordani, but I think I may have got ripped off.
