They look great! adding them after a month of qt and medication to my main tank which already has Exquisite, xmas, and clown wrasse...

I may sell one of the naoko wrasses but they are really cool, very bold colors.. i ordered two scotts as well, but the other died the following day..

Are fairy wrasses generally all peaceful w each other? i do plan to add a few more if all goes well

Nice! Generally they work it out, but sometimes there is some aggression. If you can, use an in-tank acclimation box for a few days so they get a little used to each other.

+1 on the acclimation box. Of the ones you mentioned, the Labouti may be a problem. In my limited experience they seem to be a fairly aggressive wrasse.

Thanks guys, ya fish are strange at times they all have different personalities.. I hope I luck out.. I may try that box trick out.. Hoping they make the qt tank.. All I do w wrasses is prazipro 2-3 times feed heavy and observe.. The Scott's is pooping a casing type poop so we know that not good.. Waiting for it to be nice and powdery .. Lol

+2... Labouti and Aussey Scott's can both be aggressive... I have over 40 wrasses of which 28 are fairies, and there are very few problems.

Are they generally aggressive towards other wrasses or in general as a fish?

My Labouti does not like my male Flame and nips at him every so often. I thought the Scott's would be like that but turns out that the Labouti is the more bold and aggressive one.
My Scott's is very shy and jumpy, he's taken a tumble out of the tank on more times then I can count when I have the screen off for feeding or maintenance.
