Jan 2026 POTM Wrasses

Ive had him for one week. My lfs kept him for a month to make help make sure he'd be ok.

I really want a Radiant at some point. It's the one fish I would add if there were no concerns with my existing fish

He's kind of weird. He'll stay buried until about 1:00 and then stay out unti about 2 hours after lights out.

He might be on a different schedule. My older Leopard is used to my lighting schedule, but when I introduced my new ones they were slow to adjust. The Tamarin still wakes up before the lights come on and buries before they go off.

Female Lineatus Wrasse, hoping she turns male at some point but after over 6 months still nothing!

Best photo I've ever managed to get of my filamented flasher wrasse 'flashing' at his reflection.

I don’t own a tank large enough for a wrasse, so I’ll have to sit this one out

Possum wrasses max out at 2-3 inches. Even 6 lines stay pretty small. How big is your tank?

40b is my largest, and there’s already an orchid dottyback that has been beat up by a few other fish I’ve tried in there. Im afraid there isn’t enough room for another similar fish.

Orchid dottybacks live along side my wrasses without issue.

This was one of the two I added. It will only eat frozen while the Leopards eat everything.

Sorry for the accidental above posting.
Took a few shots of my Splendid Fairy Wrasse. Had this male for about 16 months. Definitely my bud. Named him Grogu. Here is my photo, Splendid Fairy Wrasse alone, iPhone photo, no photo editing. Other pics just almost worthy. The Flasher and Cleaner wrasse are quite amusing. I think Lasse corrected me on a post I did some time ago about me thinking the Flasher wrasse was displaying towards the cleaner. It’s his way of saying Buggoff!

Someday you guys should organize an ugly photo contest, like picking a favorite ugly Christmas sweater. Foxface doesn’t like the phone camera!

They had one last year or the year prior.
