Scott's Wrairy Wrasse-Any Luck?

[curtis1158]

Haven't seen much on the Scott's Wrairy Wrasse on these threads. Would love to get one closer to the summer. Does anyone one have experience with these fish? They seem reef safe and non aggressive. I know there are three varieties depending on where they are purchased-Cook Islands, Fiji or Australia? Any input would be helpful?

Sorry for the spelling-Scott's Fairy Wrasse.

Not much harder than most of the other fairy wrasses. Keep the tank covered as they spook easily and are prone to jump. One of the drawbacks to be aware of is that "sometimes" the colors of the males fade a bit in the absence of females to flash for. They form harems in the wild so the male is constantly showing off for one of the ladies. Some folks buy them and then are disappointed after a time as the colors shown on the websites aren't as pretty. They're relatively hardy and most will eat pretty much anything.

Thanks for the info. Don't know is I have the room for more than one, as I guess the colors may get dull without the female. Any other info is appreciated.
