Thank you! The other one does seem to be doing good. The carpenters wrasse is becoming more accepting of a new wrasse in the mix. I’m bummed though that I only have one lubbocks now, I really wanted to have a male and female, maybe I will get an acclimation box and try to get another pre qt’d juvi lubbocks before this one transitions.
I have tried to keep pairs of fairy wrasses in the past and have had some success keeping multiples of the same species on a few occasions, but even when successful almost every single time I ended up with 2 males. I would suggest getting another species of fairy or flasher wrasse and having males of multiple species in the tank. The female/juvis will still transition to male even without another of the same species 95% of the time.
Whatever you decide to do, welcome to the wrasse addiction. It bites hard and it doesn’t let go.
