What do you guys/gals know about the so-called "Red Parrot Fairy Wrasse." Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis. Would it be ok in a 33 cube? The description at marinedepotlive says they only grow to 4'' and need a minimum 20 gallon tank. And that they prefer to school. But what does marinedepotlive know?!

A hardy, small fairy wrasse that should do well in 33g. cube. They do not need to "school" but a male will flash more regularly in the presence of females ( which more than likely, you will not be able to find). So either, a single male or a trio of 1 male, 2 females would be my suggestion. If you don't have a tight fitting cover for your tank don't bother as they will jump eventually. IME, they are also surprisingly aggressive for their size (in a fairy wrasse kind of way). Randy
