    Female Leopard Wrasse

    I was thinking about getting an ornate leopard wrasse for my 55g tank and live aquaria lists them as an EXPERT ONLY fish. Is this true or is there any easy way to get them on frozen meaty foods?

    Leopard Wrasse Question

    Hoping to have some the wrasse experts on here weigh in on a question that I had regarding leopard wrasse behavior: Do leopard females establish a hierarchy and perhaps even stress the other females into the sand? I brought home a trio of female leopards yesterday and all 3 were out eating...

    Can anyone help me gender these potters wrasses?

    All I can find is the same one picture showing a male female specimen.i suspect my brighter colored one is female and the more drab one is male based on head shape. But they both have the red mark on the top fun characteristic of males I think.

    So I ordered two potters wrasses The minute I could find some online. I know they have abysmal shipping history and are hard to acclimate and feed so I decided to get two. They seem to have shipped great and are large and active. Never buried except at night. And are eating live pods and some...

    I got two male Wrasses? What do I do?

    I thought it was pretty rare to receive a male leopard wrasse but I just got two potters wrasses delivered and they’re both male... plus there is a smaller male leopard of a different species already in the tank. What do I do about this? Will it be a problem? How big does the tank need to be to...

I added a female (about 3”) leopard wrasse in an acclimation box with sand and lots of sea lettuce (covered in pods and just extra hiding) she was in the box on the side of the tank for about a full...

    male meleagris or ornate leopard wrasse

    Hi everyone, I found a nice leopard wrasse at my LFS for $39. They thought it was a male meleagris leopard wrasse. But it really looks like an ornate to me. Any experts out there that could help me figure this out? Here are some pics from QT:

    Quarantine Leopard Wrasses from LiveAquaria

    Hi Everyone, I’ve had some bad luck with leopards lately that’s been compounded by the lack of availability due to Covid-19. I’ve tried 3 and only had 1 survive. Sadly, that one recently jumped out of the tank... So, after extensive research. I’ve decided to have another go. Eventually, the...

    Leopard Wrasses Introduced and Hiding

    Hi everyone, I just added a couple of smaller female leopard wrasses to my RedSea Reefer750 yesterday. There is currently another female in the tank (same size) and a larger Moyer’s leopard wrasse in the tank. At first, the new additions were just hanging out. Checking out the other female...

My lamarcks angel seems to chase my leopard wrasse when he gets near her, I’ve had my leopard wrasse for over a year and I know...

    Black Leopard Wrasse / Spotted Mandarin / PODS

    Hey hey to my favorite reefers! I have a couple questions before I end up regretting a highly potential impulse buy. I've done some reading, however. So, I am not COMPLETELY oblivious to the potential issues as far as the competition for food goes. That being said, I am wanting to get the below...

    Fighting Conch and Wrasses

    Is it contraindicated to have a fighting conch in a tank with a sand-burying wrasse? Interested in a fighting conch but I have a leopard wrasse that buries into the sand to sleep. Are there concerns with the conch "running into" the wrasse when buried or causing injuries?

    Leopard Wrasse Starving Herself

    It's extremely sad to watch this occurring. I picked up 2 leopard wrasses from my LFS about 6 weeks ago. One is thriving in quarantine, and the other just started starving herself. The weak one was the slowest to bury itself initially, last to start taking frozen food as well. But she...

    Leopard and Fairy Wrasses

    I've been offered a nice looking Leopard Wrasse and while I was planning on only having Fairy Wrasses this grabbed my interest. I would try researching more on my own but this is probably going to pass quickly. Am I asking for trouble when I have a male c. solorensis and male c. lubboki...

    Quarantine of new Ornate Leopard Wrasse

    Hi All, I recently ordered an ornate leopard wrasse (Macropharyngodon ornatus) and she came on Tuesday. Initially, she dove to the bottom and skated around looking for sand. I "helped" her from the glass to the sand bowl and have seen her a few times since. She looks ok for now, but I just...

    New Leopard Wrasse

    I have a new Leopard Wrasse in my QT and have some concerns about her. I have placed a 2 inch container of sand in it and interestingly enough she took right to it first night. The lfs had her in some 1/2 inch sand and said she slept in it. Her behavior seems "depressed" for lack of better word...
