I have a pair of blueside fairy wrasses (Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura) in my 20g right now. They are doing OK for now but will eventually outgrow this tank. They will max out at around 4".
The blue sided fairy wrasse we had was about 4" and in a 120g. After observing this fish for many months, before its unfortunate tank disaster demise, I believe this fish deserved the space afforded in a 120g. Its swimming habits and natural curiousity definitely makes this fish a large tank specimen, ime.

Oh I agree, I thought I was already hinting at that a 20g was not a good long term home, but if that was not clear then I apologize. However mine are juveniles, and are OK for now. They are growing fast, however, and they will not be in the 20g for much longer.

BTW I see I made a mistake, I said they max out at 4", in fact it is 5" (according to some sources).

(My pair's next home will be >10 times larger than their current home. :razz: Hmmmm, approximately 14 times in fact!!)
