Thought it would be a good idea to start a fairy wrasse photo library to show some of these great reef safe fish. I will try to include them all but some i do not have pics for all of them. If there is one that has not been included and you have a pic of it please let me know if I can use it and i will post it. I think these are some of the best fish to keep and I have been keeping them for a number of years now. I am by no means an expert on fairy wrasses but I seem to think I have alot of knowledege about them. They are reef safe and do not require a sand bed to sleep in. Most of them are peacefull but there are some of them that are very aggressive and that will be noted in the info with the pictures of that fish. They also require a top on the tank and eggcrate will work on the large fairys but the small ones will get through. They also will eat most anything and once settled in are very hardy. There are some that will fade in color without females. The Solor, Scott's, Blue- scaled, Fine-spotted, Temminck's, Black Finned, Exqusite, Shoals, Katherines, and Girdled seem to fade the most. Rhomboids, Pylei, Pink-margin, Yellow- band, Shoals, Yellow-flanked seem to fade some but not much. The fairys that are mostly red and pink seem to keep their color better...there are some that I have not kept and don't know if they hold thier color or not. Ok so now lets get on to the pictures.
