I like that idea too, maybe get some more of these blue sided faery wrasse's..... thats a fine idea....

BCOG, just keep in mind the flasher wrasses and the fairy wrasses are different and some of the fairies get quite big (~5").

Paracheilinus spp.. These are the ones I was talking about. I kept one for a little while and it jumped out of a mostly covered tank. They are easily spooked and tank mates have to be chosen with this in mind. The one I had absolutely freaked when the yellow tang was added. We thought it had hidden in the rockwork. I'd have the harem in place before adding other fish unless they're really docile.

I did a few hours searching last night on google, I think I will look into the Paracheilinus lineopunctatus, carpenteri, falvianalis or mccoskeri, all are smallish, (under 3 1/2 inches) and very colourful.

The fish I have are all pretty docile and I have a glass cover for the tank, although I am not using it at the time.

Very cool, we had P. filamentosus. It was weird how badly the tang freaked that fish out considering it (the tang) wasn't the least bit aggressive.
