dont anyhow put so many male fairy wrasse together.

they will either fight until 1 is dead, or keep showing aggression until 1 revert back to female.

either way you still lose out. you buy male fairy at male price (= more ex), then if die (you lose money), or if become female, you also lose money coz female cheaper.

buy 1 male and either leave it as 1 male, or buy more females for it.

also don't buy too many fairies that look the same. flame, aussy hooded, vanuatu hooded. they tend to fight and also won't be so impactful with so many similarly coloured ones.

flame is very very timid and in your tank full of aggressive fish, you might want to remove the more aggressive ones.

also the flame back i suggest 1 or 2. they are aggressive, being members of the argi complex. the flame angel also. if can, keep 1 only. this is another territorial dwarf angel.

in future when you add your colini and venustus, these 2 will give you hell and colini and venustus are extremely shy. you can forget about keeping these 2.

so i suggest keeping one of all your dwarf angels. only pair the one you really really like.

no...

there are some fairy wrasses that are very fierce. like scotts, roseafascia, lineatus, pylei, rosy scale etc.

ggenerally hooded, flame wrasse, rhomboids these are ok. but amongst each other, flame wrasse is more timid than hooded and rhomboid is more timid than flame wrasse. so sometimes can have a little arguement within the three also. that means in the three types you have, the order of aggressiveness is hooded >flame > rhomboid. since flame and hooded same colour and you have two flames, there's sure bound to be some kind of arguement.

3-4 flame back... that will leave you 3-4 left. still too many IMO but if you really like then i won't stop you. just letting you know that flame backs are very aggressive.

Red margin not as bad as pylei... Never really chase but maybe because it is up against a pair of rosy scale... LOL...

not keep them hahahaha either way you keen in the earlei too? if not each one can buy 1 hahahaha

dun be ridiculous. i'll never spend 1k+ on a deep water wrasse that can just die from decompression anytime. moreover even if i had to spend 1k+ on a fish, it will definitely not be earlei. so small and not worth the money. i rather interruptus or WI, or even a sanguineus hog.

and earlei keep 1 not nice. a pair or trio would be nicer and better but forget it. way too expensive.

rhomboids already so difficult to get healthy ones.

anyway earlei not so easy to get. doesn't mean you want means can get.

if you interested i need to email atsumi and ask when is their next stock on palau shipments and then bring it in for you and whoever else that wants it.

even if was very rich, i would still spend my money wisely. IMO i think earlei is really just not worth the money.

i will not spend so much for a fairy wrasse since they're so delicate and worst of all, small.

if you keep fairy wrasse long enough, you will know they have alot of problems.

some are very timid, will hide and never come out.

some are very fierce. will kill evreything.

some come with internal parasites that can be very difficult to treat.

some come with decompression problems that is impossible to treat.

some come with internal infections with result from decompression problem which is also impossible to treat.

of course one could argue and say if they had the money to spend and love the fish alot, then why not? just that IMO it's not wise to spend 1k on something like that. that's just bodering ridiculous.

but spending 1k on an angel, butterfly or other things, YES! i will definitely oblige.

so it all boils down to what people want to do with their money and what rare fish excites them. for a fairy wrasse collector, earlei is a must! but the price for a tiny fish is just way too painful and even Dr. Tanaka does not have it because he himself said it's too expensive. Coming from a world renowned fairy wrasse expert!
