Yeah, they can be jumpers so my tank will have a screen top made in the next couple days with 1/4" mesh. So far he's content in my new 8' with a couple other small fish that don't harass him so he hasn't jumped.
He's super cute but he freaked me out when I brought him home. While acclimating he "played possum" I thought he had kicked the bucket but nope he was pretending

Wow, love your long fin fairy- I had one he was one of my faves; I had to trade him in for a less aggressive mckosker flasher. But when I get my larger tank a long fin will definetly be in my mix of fish fo sho!!
And an eightline flasher WOW...I have never heard of someone actually having one. They are very hard to come by IMO. Beautiful fish.
I presently have:
Filament flasher
Mckosker flasher
Carpenters flasher
Blue flasher

Thank you, the long fin is the runt of my wrasses and was very timid at first but has come around nicely and is always out swimming with the bigger guys & gals.

I agree, eight line's are definitely a rare find. I'm glad to have him. His fins are so huge and stunning compared to other flashers.

I'm hopeful that my with time my female long tail will turn male. I'm contemplating bringing home the last remaining female at the store in hopes of making a pair.
