well, I got rid of my tang last night. I had a baby sailfin. but after 6 months it wasent a baby anymore. and my 45 gallon dident seem to want to magicly get larger no matter how hard i tried.

I get a to restock tho, and Ive been looking over ideas for a few weeks.

current stock:

2 maroon clowns
1 blood shrimp
1 peppermint
1 bubble tip (really big tho)

and lots of corals

Ive settled on the idea of
1 midas blenny

and a wrasse... i think.
Not familier with wrasses, never owned one.

I love the look of the painted fairy, and
Laboute's Fairy Wrasse - (although with the price and rarity, not sure about that)


think it'll work well in my tank?anything i should read about wrasses that the marine fish book and the specs on marinedepot/drfoster and smith doesent tell me?>

Ill be qt'ing 6 weeks or longer, depending on what i notice. do they do well in qt?

thanks alot!
Maggie

Flasher wrasses would work well in a tank your size. Fairy wrasses would not have enough room. However with either, be sure your tank is 100% covered as they do jump.
