    Right, just like I said: Anampses femininus ;D

    And I'm a little jealous now. ;)

    People have to google what you said...I put it right out there for them to see. ;) I didn't even see your post. ;D I have 6 different Wrasses on my "to get" list. All attainable except this one.

    Leopard Wrasse Female (Macropharyngodon meleagris)
    Ornate Wrasse Male (Halichoeres ornatissimus)
    Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis)
    Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus)
    Lineatus Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lineatus)
    Blue Striped Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses femininus)

    I like the Flame...but trying to keep the $300 fish to a minimum. ;)

    If it was a wrasse for me, it would be an Anampses chrysocephalus, Male :)

    A respectable list. :cheesy:

    There might be a bit of aggression between the Red Velvet and the Lineatus, but if the tank is big enough they should work it out. I wouldn't add them too far apart though.

    Mystery's have always made me nervous, being they are a Pseudocheilinus.

    Flames don't have to be $300. I got my pair locally for 250 from a very reputable LFS, that has an industry leading QT and treatment procedure prior to sale. Good deals are out there...

    Very beautiful, and not that common in the trade as most succumb to stress before they ever reach a seller (back to that tamarin thing...).

    Thanks!

    In the planning stages for a 170 (72x30x20)...I think it'll be big enough for both. I'm sure I could find a Flame cheaper than $300...just seen them listed closer toward the $300 than $200, ya know? I assume there would there be aggression with a Flame addition as well...correct me if I am wrong.

    In talks with Tenecor right now about the tank. Free S&H if I order within the week!
