Leopard Wrasse questions

[cnseekatz]

Macropharyngodon wrasse are less susceptible to jumping right?

Leopards are way more like to dive under the sand than fly out of the tank.

Gorgeous collection by the way. I've got three female leopards (Blue Star, Potter's, and Chaoti), and I have no pods to speak off. Not sure how you feed that many wrasses! Awesome job though!

Are you referring to my video?

And yeah I feed at least twice per day and I spend more feeding my fish than my 3 dogs and 3 cats combined... They are spoiled with about ten different types of food... None of which are flakes or pellets.

What do you feed? I have a bunch of different frozen stuff I rotate, but would be interested to hear what you use...

Sure, but they WILL do the latter eventually if the tank is not covered. It's simply a matter of time.

Of course... practically any fish can jump. But if we're categorizing fish that are more of a risk to jump, compared to others, I wouldn't consider leopards to be high on the list.

I would consider any wrasse to be high n the list. Leopards may not be as high as flashers and fairies, but they'll still be pretty high.

Bloodworms, CA mysis, hikari Angel formula with sponge, brine, mysis, spirulina brine, emerald entre, marine veggie mix, squid, krill, all mixed sometimes one or two more.

Microwaved, drained, and soaked in selcon with a splash of garlic guard and on occasion I add a bit of cod liver oil. I make fresh each week.

Also red and green nori offered daily (yes my wrasse eat it too)

Live blackworms at least one week out of the month as well.

Ideally I would like for them to remain female because their markings/coloration is far more beautiful than the males IMO. Plus I also like their peaceful nature.

Female blue star almost fully transitioned
