Decided to try my hand with leopard wrasses today for the first time in 18 years in the hobby. LA order was delayed, the UPS rep said it was due to a “monsoon” in Kentucky. They were great about it though, calling me, tracking down the driver, the driver sent his cell, met me out on the route around 2:30. Have to say, UPS was very invested in saving my order.
So, surprisingly to me, despite the five hour delay, both came in looking very good so far!
Despite Fenner’s recommendation I am QTing them. I matched the shipping salinity to a cycled 46g qt tank, so I just quickly temp acclimated, no drip. I added live rock and pods, and two containers of sand. I put them right in the sand but the both left (and probably can’t find it again just yet), and appear to be hunting already!
Anyway, I know it’s touch and go and early days, so I’ll keep you all posted. Really beautiful fish.
