Randall & Allen, 2003
This species is not well known yet. Is common in Australia and Fidji. Surely they are to be kept like other Paracheilinus. They are tender, skittish fish, that should not be kept as singles.
The photo from Hiroyoko Tanaka shows a mail one with about 8 cm from Vanatu.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labridae (Family) > Paracheilinus (Genus) > Paracheilinus rubricaudalis (Species)
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
