I'm super excited to add another fish to the tank. And I'm even more excited to add this fish because I think they're so beautiful. Anyone else out there have one? Please post your pics below and how long you've had your fishy. :)

Yes, main tank has a Carpenter and Mccorsker. With the above wrasse I also got a Labouts. In the same order was a Lubbucks but it parished.

We have a pair of flame wrasse's and a Labout's wrasse (love this one). Did you put yours in an acclimation box before you put it in the main tank?

The carpenter was in the tank first, a month later I added the McCorsker. The Mickey was smaller so it knew it’s place right away.

I have the Labouts and Linn both in QT together. They are fine. When I add these guys, I will use a box to acclimate them. But that’s a good 50 days away.

Luckily I’m picking mine up after it having been in QT for a month. He’s gonna go straight into the acclimation box and we’ll see. :)

Oh man, that's a beautiful fish!
Thank you, it's definitely one of my favorites! I have quite few Wrasses. They are my favorite fish...

Outstanding pictures. Guessing you didn’t use a phone camera. It’s hard to capture their color and getting them in focus while swimming around
Thank you. I used my DSLR for these pics.

I spoke to soon, had to separate them. One is in an acclimation box now.

I have a labouti in qt now. Always wanted one and now I might also want a linneatus.
I had a gorgeous Labouti, but he died after a couple of years. not sure why. I just got another one today and he's in QT. Here was my last one
