Sorry about having to remove the fish. I've never owned any fancy wrasses but I know how it is to have to remove a fish you really want to keep.

If you're feeling down just take a step back and look at your awesome tank. With a tank that nice it can't be too bad. ;) Very well done!

Hi Brett...your tank is beautiful.....before getting rid of your Labouti try leaving it in the QT tank for a week or more and then place it back in....it will be the new guy again and not as territorial...I have to do this with my PBT and my sixline whenever I add new fish....I have my PBT 13 years and my sixline 6 years and has worked every time I have a probelm with them...the Labouti is not known to be as aggressive as them so hopefully it will work for you so you don't have to get rid of it....it's a beautiful fish ..give it a try before giving up on it.

Thanks Gabriel, everything is happier this way so I'm OK with it. I wish they could all get along but sometimes they don't.

Hey Mike,
Thank you. I thought about adding him back later but I'm not sure I want to try it. My biggest issue with him is he beats on fish that were there before him. I'm gonna keep thinking about it but he was hard to catch and I don't know of I want to have to catch him again. I don't know, maybe I'll try a juvi again at some point.

The collection of fish is as impressive as the collection of corals. Beautiful as always.

looking good! and congrats I see you still have a female PQ...I'm going to try again when I find a healthy trio.

 

[Aquaph8]

Thanks Mike. The last PQ is amazing, I wish I could have like 6 more just like her. Ive thought about adding another small group of females but I never see them very often.

Thanks Terry, Sorry for the late responses. The earlei seems to be growing so fast now that he's in the display. I love the googly eyes of small wrasses too.

Love the fish!!

Ive been having having issues with my QT lately, I do 100% water change get it back to normal and within 3 days I have pea soup. Its driving me nuts cause its worthless to QT fish that you can't see to observe. Ive torn the whole tank down, cleaned everything, changed all media and 3 days later pea soup. I thought it was the window behind the tank causing this, so I blacked out the back and try and keep the blinds shut but no help at all. Thoughts, help anyone?
