He was the first fairy I got. Beautiful fish, good persinality and eats everything I feed, which is about everything, flake, pellets,frozen food. Hangs out by itself though.

Gorgeous...who's been nipping his tail? I am planning on a fish removal, 1 down...3 to go. I was thinking of replacing them with this fish. We had one at the shop once, he was magnificent.{I picked him out at the wholesaler's} since then I have wanted one. He had every color of the rainbow.

Great fish! I've a couple of them in the past. Very hardy and great personality. They like to jump as most wrasses. I noticed though after a while they tend to lose their color. I think a supplement of cyclops eeze will help this.

No pictuers but I use to have a lovely large male. He would eat from your hand and was very hardy. That is until it jumped into the overflow then went down the drain pipe and got stuck, overflowing the tank.
