Good afternoon everyone. We stopped by the lfs today. I bought the tank for my new upcoming build while I was there. My wife got a orange spotted prawn goby and a pictus blenny. Ive never seen one in person and they said it was the first one they recall having in their 40+ years.

I saw a GORGEOUS leopard wrasse for $50 and it was fat and eating frozen in the store. Im still not sure if I can live without it or not lol

You just summoned the bad influence crew.... be prepared 🤣
 
chilling and listening to some oldies, just got finished slapping myself for volunteering for overtime tomorrow, work 12, get paid 16 , good money though

You can't. I'm certain.
 
You can't. I'm certain.
Im pretty much feeling like you're right! Do they seem to be more fairly active in the water column, or are they basically rock hiders?
 
You need the leopard wrasse!!! You cannot live without it!!! Go back and get it!!! I love mine they are so pretty!
Dang im thinking I messed up now! I was holding out for a Lubbock's wrasse, but this guy might get that spot.

Mine is always out and about swimming all over.

Honestly Tim that's what drew me to this one. It kept coming up to the glass in a very friendly manner. My other wrasse freak out anytime you move

Mine has swam into my hand looking for treats when I'm working with frags or pulling algae.
