Sixline wrasses are terrors don't get one lol. My melanurus doesn't even bother shrimp or snails. I have peppermint shrimp in my tank. They are a great wrasse. I would also look up flasher wrasses they are very nice looking

lol thank you... i certainly don't need any more terrors in the tank :) Obviously everyone who has had them seems to feel the same... so no 6 line for me. Will a 125g support him when he gets full grown? i understand they get to be about 6".

I believe i like the melanurus the most out of all the wrasse's i have looked at so far. as of now thats whats being added to the list!

How about a Divided leopard wrasse, Macropharyngodon bipartitus... Stunning fish, don't know much about them.

 

[kemper6120]

it is a pretty cool looking fish but i think i like the colors of melanurus better.

They are awesome looking. But they can be very hard to get to eat prepared foods.

Typed from my phone, because I have nothing better to do.

Yea eventually i will when i get the aquarium ready and get my LEDs in and no i dont have a kit for those yet.

 

[kemper6120]

Did a water change and brought the salinity down to where it needs to be at 1.024

 

[prsnlty]

I did that once... mine was a shocking 1.032. the funny thing that alerted me is when i stick my arm in the tank, my arm wanted to float.

I see your ph is still low. I tried buffer on mine and it threw everything out of balance. lost 2 acro's. So now i just leave it where it is @ 7.8.

You have two clowns in the tank and it had not cycled yet?

 

[kemper6120]

It's not safe yet. As long as you have nitrites and no nitrates it's not done cycling.

 

[kemper6120]

nothing i can really do now

 

[Dowtish]

What are your levels at now?

Ammonia
Nitrite
Natrate

 

[kemper6120]

I'm out at the moment but when I get back I will check them!

 

[kemper6120]

pH - 7.6
Nitrite - .2
Nitrate - 0
Ammonia - 0
Salinity 1.025
These where my parameters yesterday after noon after I did a water change

 

[gmoney243]
