Well, I have a questing about some fairy wrasses, I have a carpernters, and thread fin fairy wrasse that are alive but I cant find them anywhere.  I know that some wrasses will bury themselves in the sand but I am unaware if fairy wrasses do this.  I have had them for a day and the whip fin is out and about but I havent seen these guys since yesterday.  noting is dead or I havent seen anything floating around and nothing in the back of the tank.  What do you all think.  How long do they usually take to come out and be less shy?

They can take 3-maybe up to 7 days before they start feeling comfortable in the new home.
Be patient , they will come out.

I really hope so.  I am not the most patient of people.  They did get beat up by a six line wrasse before I could get him out.  But he is long gone and now just the 3 wrasses in the tank with the other tank mates.  Is there a chance that if they dont make it I can put some more in there?  One of them is swimming around and I guess my question is is will fairy wrasses be aggresive like the six line was?  Oh, and how tough are they?  They didnt get beat up that bad before I got the sixline wrasse out.

Fairy wrasses are pretty tuff.  You wont have any problems adding others as long as they aren't the same kind.  Six lines are a different family and very awnery and territorial.
