Mixing Differant Species Male/Female Fairy Wrasses

I know its always a bad idea to mix wrasses, ecspecially of the same species and males. I have a female Solar Fairy Wrasse and recently bought a male Scotts Fairy. I put the Solar in my refugium for now until I can figure out what to do long term, and the Scotts is in the main tank. Anyone have experience mixing a male of one species and a female of another? I would love to keep them both in the same tank but I fear horrible results, expecially since the tank is small (65g).

I wouldnt worry about them both being in the tank. I would not get any more simply due to size of the tank. There is a guy here with a tank full of fairy wrasses and they dont seem to bother each other.
