While in preparation of my current build I have been planning which fish I will be stocking. I would like a wrasse for pest control primarily and really love the way melanurus wrasses look. The tank will be bare bottom however. Knowing full well that melanurus wrasses need sand to hide and sleep in, I came up with an idea I have not seen..
Many people use tupperwares of sand in their BB tanks to keep halichoeres, which doesn’t look great imho. But! What about taking a nice chunk of dry rock and shaping / sealing the inside to act as a sort of sand box for the wrasse? It would look more natural than a plastic tub, and meet the needs of the wrasse at the same time.
