wrasse

What are the most invert safe wrasses? I don’t have a reef tank or coral or anything, just looking for a wrasse that won’t mess with inverts such as crabs, snails, conches, shrimp, etc. I have a male bird wrasse now, will definitely have to trade him in but let me know.

Hello everyone! I have heard very mixed opinions on flasher wrasses in 20g tanks. Some people say it's totally fine and do so with seemingly happy and healthy wrasses, while I've seen others say that these active fish need tanks of at least 55g. I'm curious as to what you all think? I'd love to...

I recently got a waterbox 85.3 frag tank, according to the sticker the display up top is about 55 gallons rest is in the sump. was wondering if anyone can share input on colorful interactive fish, nothing too skittish , goal is a reef tank so preferably reef safe or with caution would be good...

Hi guys can you help me identify what this is and recommend treatment? Currently it’s in a 75 gallon qt tank running some copper under .8ppm and I dosed knaplex and metroplex as well as prazi in the past 2 weeks, running carbon at the moment.

all i really need is help with my wrasse and you can skip the first paragraph as it’s only an apology about yesterday. ok as some of you know i had a whole incident that almost led to me not being alive lucky a family member stepped in before i cut too deep into myself but i’m not going to...

ok so i just had my first coral loss today my sun coral all was ok up to a week ago it wouldn’t open or even respond to food and today it finally died with it fully receding. and then my next problem is my pygmy wrasse which went from glass surfing to hiding and sleeping all day. i thought...

I am looking for the best qt method for a rhomboid. I have 4 fish in my tank so far and none were quarantined by me. I now know this was foolishness but with the amount I was learning I did not see the value like I do now. It appears that wrasse in general seem to be more picky about...

Has anyone had any experience with the red line wrasse? thinking about getting one, just want to know what others think about this wrasse (:

Hi i was just wondering what everyone’s opinions are on leopard wrasses? i want to get one, which one is the easiest to take care of and isn’t as sensitive?

I am thinking about getting a female blue star leopard wrasse from liveaquaria. I have a 55g with about a 2 inch sand bed. On liveaquaria it says that they are expert only, i read that some say that is only because they don’t do well with the shipping process? So if i get one, should i...

Hi, I am getting a wrasse for my fluval evo 13.5. I will have it with 1 clownfish and a shrimp goby pair. I am deciding between a pyjama pinstripe wrasse or a tanakas Pygmy possum wrasse. Which would be better or does it not matter?

How many wrasses are possible in a 50 gallon cube? The wrasses I’m looking at: Naokoe wrasse Social fairy wrasse Lubbock wrasse African exquisite wrasse Carpenter wrasse Lined flasher Yellow coris Irdris wrasse Earmuff wrasse Possum wrasse Leopard wrasse Which ones can go in a 50 gallon...

There is always a lot of buzz around new aquarium fish that are very colorful and rare like new fairy wrasses and basslets, however, in the scientific world, they have some often more helpful criteria when it comes to the excitement for new fish. Today’s fish spotlight is a perfect example of...

So a little backstory. I have a 66g display 75g total volume. Been running approximately one month. only two occelaris in so far although lfs has some bengai on order for me. I have been researching my stock list and also plan on adding: Royal gamma basslet 1 Firefish goby 1 or bonded pair...

Hey guys! I’ve been lurking on r2r for awhile now and this is my first time posting here. I was wondering whether or not a McCoskers flasher wrasse would be compatible/fine in a 20 long? I’ve done a lot of research on this topic up to this point as it is my dream fish and I understand that while...

Have a flasher wrasse and he’s eating well and quite active but he lost his filaments. Anything I should keep an eye on or is this some what normal?

So I purchased a Melanurus Wrasse two days ago and put it into QT, I am currently treating it for internal parasites/worms due to stringy white feces and the food is mixed to @Humblefish specifications using general cure. Today as I'm observing the fish I noticed its fin was damaged as well as...

My 1.5 year old melanarus wrasse has developed some sort of problem on only his right gill, seen in the pictures below. There also seems to be some sort of inflammation inside that gill. Otherwise he seems healthy and is eating and behaving normally. No other fish have any problems, and there...

I'm sorta going mad trying to find fish I like that aren't gonna compete for pods with a mandarin. I realise any wrasse except for the fairy wrasses and their relatives will generally feed on pods, but would the Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse / White Banded Possum Wrasse specifically compete with a...

So I added my new female divided leopard wrasse to my 4 foot mixed reef tank on Saturday and my melanurus wrasse is not having it. The melanaurus has been in my tank for approximately six months, but has never harassed any new fish additions. Also, the leopard wrasse is only an inch or two big...

I am looking to see if a golden dwarf morray eel would work in the setup I have now. It is a 32 gallon biocube, I have 2 clowns and a small melanurus wrasse (he’s small now and I am rehoming him when he gets too big). Would the tank be too small to sustain him? Liveaquaria says 30 is min but...

The title pretty much says it all. I’ve seen some people say that they shouldn’t be with fish, others say they’ve had their eel everything and it’s done nothing. If someone who has experience could chime in, That would be great! Thanks!

I just got a false leopard wrasse from my LFS. He was in pretty bad shape last week but they kept him and he seems to have recovered. They told me my sand was okay for him but I’m a bit concerned, it’s not crushed coral but it’s not fine sand either, it’s about 2-3mm grains I’d say? Can he still...

I have a Labout Fairy Wrasse in QT and I was hoping for some advice on prophylactic treatment. It is currently in a 10 gallon qt tank that has been running for the past 3 months so it should be well cycled. It is day 2 and it has been eating well so far. I bought GC and Copper Power but am...
