A bit more expensive then my LFS, when he can get them...
BUT WORTH IT.
Look, you spend hundreds and hundreds of $ on your system, so might as well invest in at least one fish that will be a real showstopper...
Wonderful, mellow, easygoing fish without a single bad habit.
If appear happy and healthy Get them! --- Even if you have to dig out some plastic.
If you can only afford one, get the male...

You couldn't have gotten a better response or, more help than you just got. Knew omard was the best candidate. I love wrasses. When I started this addiction years ago, fish shape was a really big factor in fish selection. I didn't like wrasses at all. I can't get over how killer my six-line is. Had a flasher wrasse before and died in a flood/flood re-hab situation. Jumped out of the tank right in front of me one time, bounced off the wall, and I placed it back in the tank. Lived a long time before the flood. | |

Those wrasses are $390 a piece in my LFS, sounds like it would be a great buy. These are pretty timid fish though. LFS has a pair and they wont mate anymore in his tank  Probably because he has some bold fish in his tank.
