Patrick17 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I've had this fish for a couple weeks now; my journal has a few photos and I'm trying to keep a record of how it develops. If anyone has any idea as to what this little fish is, I would be very grateful! This was bought as a walindi wrasse, but I realise how rare they are on the hobby. My gut feeling is that it is a female fairy wrasse of another species but I am in no way qualified to say which! The LFS said they see them regularly, again making me doubt walindi as a positive ID, but it was imported through our largest importer who is reputable and approachable. They haven't been able to give me any details about where the fish was collected though. I think there are some slight marks along the back, below the dorsal fin, all evenly spaced, however these are so faint I cannot get a photo to show them. Whatever the fish is, its beautiful, peaceful and low maintenance *touching wood* and for the price of a yellow coris wrasse, is a little gem Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Female Cirrhilabrus flavidorsalis That is my best guess, I think a lot of female fairys look similar though. Quote Link to comment

I saw a photo on fishbase that made me think that too, really struggling to find photos of other female fairies to compare Quote Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 C. adornatus, possibly? Like tamberav said, though, a lot of females are very similar. Quote Link to comment

Thank you; I guess we're going to have to wait and see what happens as it matures. I will carry on putting photos in my tank journal Quote Link to comment
