Wrasse question...

[Todd1white]

I currently have a Flame, Pintail, Ruby Head, and Lineatus wrasses. I just heard about an opportunity to get a Feminus, which has been on my wishlist forever. The 4 that I have are all very peaceful and don't show any aggression. Question is... Will adding a Feminus upset the peace? It's a 180g mixed reef. Thanks

By ruby head do you mean cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis. If so then that should be fine as all those species you have occupy a different ecological niche from the femininus and mixing should be fine.

Looks different from the pictures I see on google for cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis . Thanks for the knowledge.

I think thats cirrhilabrus cf solorensis, maybe C. aurantidorsalis but the gold patch doesnt extend towards the head enough i think for it to be that.
But@evolved would be better at IDing. Anyways as its a fairy wrasse it shouldnt have any direct competition with the femininus, so should be fine to mix

Oh, using an acclimation box will also be useful, i found it very helpful in adding a burgess butterfly to an established multibar angel, i was expecting endless fighting but it only lasted a day with the box.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting one. Thanks

C. cf cyanopluera. Shouldn't have issues with a feminus.

Agreed, most of the time an acclimation box does help IMO.

Finally got the dream fish. She gets along well with the others. Always late for breakfast though.
