Hello all,
I need some advises from the more experiences fairy wrasses keepers. I want a pair of fairy wrasses such as Laboutei or scotts or red margins or flames wrasses. I really like laboutei wrasses and the price of a small one is 75 dollars. 150 dollars for the pair is within my bugets to get it.

But i was wondering, would one of the female change to male later on? or female will stay female and never change?
A male wrasses just cost too much for me to buy it. lfs wants 200 or more for it

Would a pair of laboutei live comfortably in an oceanic 58gallons (36Lx18Wx21H) tank with two perc clowns?
Since it is 1 male to 1 female ratio, would they live peaceful or the male will kill the female?

I don't want to buy just one male because i heard that they will lose their colors and never flash. (beside i would hate it if i get stuck somewhere without woman so i wouldn't want to keep my fishes without female)

Any advises, suggestions, criticisms or past experiences are welcome
Thanks
