Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Leopard Wrasse - perfect size for your tank, beautiful, and always active. Plus they eat flatworms and bristle worms.
This is what I was going to suggest if he's open to getting rid of the other wrasse he has that will out grow his tank and is a bully.
 
Its been a long stressful day, I really need a shoulder to lean on at this point, I know all my R2R guys and gals are to far away to help me. So I will use this shoulder

Can you trade him for something else he's going to be at least 10 inches...
Technically by now he would've been 10 inches. He's doing absolutely fine and showing 0 signs of stress. However if it gets to that point, I'll put his welfare first.
 
This is what I was going to suggest if he's open to getting rid of the other wrasse he has that will out grow his tank and is a bully.
I'll only give him up if he shows signs of stress or discomfort. Or if he just gets too big... He's been with me through everything.

I heard you needed two of these and they were way to big for my tank.

Bullying wise.. I fed him something different and he stopped. But hell still eat crabs and shrimp.
 
I guess as long as your happy about it then it's ok.
Eh...mixed feelings, but there are definitely some positives...ultimately I didn't get mad or sad...so probably for the best

No. Two will cause them to potentially transition faster but only one is required.
 
Oh that's cool. They eat copepods though?
Yeah. And pests and flakes/pellets/frozen/live/freeze dried/liquid.... Mine's a little piggy.

But I don't think he will do well long term in your tank and not with another wrasse for sure.

Mine is as well! She's super active and so pretty!

Will it be less stressful for you?

I'm not considering any more wrasses. The only way I'd do another is if he is out of the tank. If things don't work out I'll put his health first.

Then I would not add anymore fish to the tank if you are keeping him just to give him more room.
 
Everything always looks it's best right after a water change, especially the following day. I turned the blues up a smidge just for you @kingranch2003


The tank never looks better than right after a water change! I also LOVE this color mix a lot. You can still see all the detail, but the coral ia right out there front and center, slapping me in the face! Gorgeous work my friend
