Is the filamentous wrasse the fairy or the flasher? The whipfin fairy is supposedly pretty nasty.

Yep, that is definitely a flasher and not C. filamentosus.

I'm not the best guy for flasher wrasse ID, but that one might be a carpenter's. I'll let one of the wrasse experts chime in.

I agree that looks like a carpenters flasher and I think multiple flashers can work but there’s a risk of male flashers not accepting each other. Less likely with more wrasse. Pintail are docile and will mix fine.

I have 4 flashers in my tank without issues. They were added 2 at a time.....P. cyaneus, P. lineopunctatus, P. flavianalis and P. angulatus. The first two are very closely related.

that’s awesome, I still haven’t seen the flavianalis, everybody else is doing great!
