Hey David. Pets Place II has a few flasher wrasse. I almost pulled the trigger on a Pygmy Cherub yesterday. I am still trying to decide if I wanna take the chance with him. He is like the size o f a quarter, so I am still thinking.
ok so i decided to go with the leopard wrasse cause im getting it from some one whos had it for almost a year so its used to tank life and food. its a male and i was curious that if i added a female what are the chances that it would learn how to eat by watching the male? idealy id like to have a pair. paolo if its that small i wouldnt do it. id lean more for 2" minimum, and like i said before make sure uve added all the fish u want first cause angels can be nasty to noobys

the leopard wrasse is a nice fish. I'm a fan of wrasse also, I got 2 of them in my 72 bow.
A adult richmonds wrasse and a black-backed wrasse. I have a deep sand bed for both of them to sleep in. The Richmonds wrasse has amazing color and is active while and the black-backed is a finicky eater and oblivious to other fishes in the tank. I have an open top with wrasse, firefish and gobies..never had any jumpers.

knock on wood......you should consider making a net cover......KathyC can show you how to make one for a bow front. better off on the cautious side. i have a 200 gal. with a tank to ceiling canopy and i have heard the wrasse jump and hit the canopy!
This can either be called 'luck', or 'so far...so good', but you are flirting with danger! "Murphy's Law" states that it WILL be you favorite or most expensive fish that jumps!

you can't stop them from jumping.....you can prevent them from landing out side the tank....net cover, canopy, at the very least lighting grid but they can still jump thru that and the grid cut down some light penetration.

my australian super male scott's fairy wrasse!!!! RIP.....but his death was not in vain. after his tile floor surfing indecent, i had the canopy made for the dt. i've heard many jumping/splashing/even hitting the canopy itself but none made it pass the barrier.:wink1:

put a cover on top, lol
they jump when they are threaten mostly. my black-backed wrasse stays near the surface for the most part. I had glass top, but water was getting to hot, when I removed the top I've been getting a lot of water evaporation.

Fairy wrasses are inclined to bolt upwards when startled IMO.
