I should lol, maybe you should come down here though first….(and bring it over to me cough cough*)Yeah don’t get that. My LFS has the vastly superior meleagridesand they’re eating. Just come up here.
Definitely a male - The green colouring is what gives it away. I find the barring is just a plus side to finding out if they’re transitional or terminal males
That is the question! I never thought of getting a melanurus, but now that I do have one and it’s a male, I now have a potential issue. I’m definitely using the acclamation box of all wrasse I add now, the mirror trick might work but it probably will stress him out too much. Idk I’ll have to see. @SaltyT any ideas?
With a small male I wouldn't worry much. Except maybe with other halichoeres.
Right. I expect with the Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus a darting and flaring approach, with the Anampses and Macropharyngodons some light or heavy checking out, but with other Halichoeres, well there may be more than just passive checking out and telling off
Your mel is still transitioning so he may or may not give new wrasse additions much grief, but using an acclimation box is always wise when you have a mel. I've never gotten the mirror trick to work with wrasses, they seem to be too savvy to be tricked by it for more than a few minutes.
I might get one myself once my new system is up and running. Beautiful fish!
I’ve always been afraid that sooner or later saltwater fishes and corals would be more like goldfish and other crossbred freshwater fishes. To me anyway the wild types of any fish beat any line bred fish any day. Especially in the reef tank.Like to me this looks weird and like not something that would look natural
I need a throw up emoji lol
Likewise!
I might like them with Yurple the turtle. Ok maybe not.
Which is why I’ll likely never buy from an online vendor.
Well with WWC prices I think you'll need to find yourself a generous loan....
I want these torches!!!!
1 head of that torch was 300 they told me
