I have been reading here for a long time and thought i should finally post something.

At least three (or four) individuals of the species have been imported to a dealer in Osaka and two of which were sold to the shop Vessell in Gunma Prefecture, just north of Tokyo. Nearly two months have passed since they arrived there, but they seem still lively. I have not seen them yet, and they command a very very high price that almost no one can afford. Males of the species will reach 10 cm.

I REALLY miss my pair. Of all the things that I lost when i boiled my tank, the earlei's hurt the most. They were just awesome fish to have

And unlike most fairy wrasses, mine never jumped once.
