Can I have a leopard wrasse?

[shale]

I have a 55g that is INFECTED with copepods and other creepy crawlers. Would it sustain a leopard wrasse? Would it also eat frozen pac pods?

A six line wrasse would be perfect for that tank!

A leopard would be great. It will also eat frozen and anything else you throw in your tank. Mine eats mysis, ROE, TDO pellets, pods in the tank, ReefNutrition PacPods, and hatched baby brine shrimp:

They don't ship well. If you can get a healthy one in your tank they will be excellent fish with great character.

Ps, you need a sand bed, preferably 1-2".

My experience has been that if they have enough pods to get settled in, they do fine. Eventually they usually start taking frozen, and once that happens they are actually pretty bulletproof. It’s really the shipping and initial settling in that gets them their hard to keep reputation.

Do you think pellet size matters?

Mine eats spirulina brine.
I've tried TDO extra small but it doesn't even look at the pellets.

Is there a better frozen food i should be feeding? I also have two chromis, two clowns and a pygmy angel. They all eat the TDO.

TIA,
Ben

Mine eats small and medium TDO. But she would eat extra small, no problem. Looks like yours just hasn't taken up TDO pellets yet. Mine really likes Hikari frozen mysis.

Mine loves flakes too along with frozen. They are more timid than other fish though

Thank you both!
I'll keep trying!
