Another leopard.

[Brad Syphus]

I finally got my Kuiters leopards. After waiting for 2 weeks for one of them to heal. Divers Den finally gave the OK to ship.

The smaller of the 2 went straight into the sand and she hasn't came out yet. But the larger one hung out for about 6 hrs today and ate pe mysis.
Got a couple of pictures, but they aren't very good.

Nice!! How do these to captively? ive always been told they are very very hard to keep,so im always afraid to try them. . . .

Really nice Brad. Leopards are good looking wrasses. I saw a nice wrasse as the pic on Divers Den today, but it was gone by the time I got on. The first thing I thought of was you, haha. I don't know if you would pick that one up, but I was like, either Brad or Marvin probably got it if it was nice. haha

Yeah, I've heard the same thing as well. I think my buddy tried one a while back, but didn't have much success with him. Hats off to Brad for showing us how its done

Leopards are awesome looking. But with some of my fish I am afraid to try one for fear it will jump out of the tank. Good Luck with them!

 

[Brad Syphus]

Thanks guys, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They are hard to keep, but the key is to get them eating and this morning he was eating and hunting good, so I'm optimistic. The smaller one is starting to get me worried, even though it's only been a day.

 

[btkrausen]

Brad is going to have more wrasses than gallons of water in his tank soon

 

[Brad Syphus]

I need a bigger tank.:haha::haha:

 

[Pizzapro83]

Very nice. I love your tank. It makes me look at mine and wonder what it needs

 

[clowns101]

Brad-I hate your tank!JK....but every time I look at a picture of yours,the more I feel like a failer...

Let us know how they do,hopefull your female come outs soon!

 

[mizzoumed02]

Nice Looking Fish there! I'd like to try one some day, just not sure about putting one in my current system. I think I'm about at my fish Max at this point, but I'm planning on upgrading in the next year or so and then I'll have more room for more nice looking fish like that!

 

[btkrausen]

Brad has so many wrasses that he can't even take a pic without another wrasse getting in the way. hahaha

That's a purdy leopard... I am staying away from Leo's, since my only one I had went MIA within the first week ...I will definetly be following this thread to see how yours do...

 

[MarvinsReef]

awesome man! hope the smaller one does well. good luck.

 

[Brad Syphus]

Thanks , I'll keep you all updated.

 

[btkrausen]

I see you have a cleaner wrasse in your tank as well. Do you have just one? I've had one in my tank for probably 6 months, and I love the little pattern he swims sometimes, bobbing his tail up and down as he swims around. Pretty good to watch.

Also, does your Rhomboid swim upwards, as in it looks like he's standing up in a sense? Thats why mine was doing tonight.

 

[Brad Syphus]

Yea, I only have one. Had him now for a year and he does a great job. All of my fish wait in line for him, it's great to watch.
My rhomboids do look up and swim like that alot. It's like they are always checking out whats going on above them. Probably trying to figure out how to jump out.:wink:

 

[Brad Syphus]

Like this one.

You can see my middle one looking up.
