Labout's Fairy Wrasse & McCosker's Flasher Wrasse?

[erock30]

I have small sub/adult male McCosker's Wrasse in 65 gallon reef tank was looking to add Labout's Fairy Wrasse. Does anyone have any experience keeping these 2 fish together? Was going to order Labout from liveaquaria so wouldnt be able to pick male or female. I read 2 male wrasse together would fight alot, was wondering if fairy and flashers could get along even if both are males? Id appreciate any input/info anyone has about this subject

Labouti can be aggressive...plus with an 'expensive' wrasse, I'd rather see it first, and make sure it's eating.
I have 25 wrasses in my tank, many fairies and flashers, without problems...most seem to turn male, anyway!

Is the tank covered?...wrasses will jump, especially if another wrasse chases them.

Yes i have redsea 250, it has tight fitting top just have to make sure i close it completely everytime now that i have the flasher... and ur rite its expensive so prob not worth the risk. Really liked the coloring in Labouti, was thinking maybe Exquisite Fairy might be a less expensive risk

will not work --they will not get along

I had a labouti wrasse mixed in with my dozen or so wrasses and the labout was the most aggressive and chased everyone. I love their marking but wasnt overly upset when he jumped.

What other wrasses would be best to mix with McCosker's Flasher?
