Pink streaked wrasse tips?

[Echo2656]

So I'm getting my first wrasse and my 3rd saltwater fish(a pink streaked wrasse) in a week from my lfs. I have done quite a bit of research on them but I would like some tips from personal experience. It would really help a lot, thanks!

Super timid. Mine took many weeks before it stopped hiding when I walked in the room. When I added a white tail kole, it hid in crevass by my overflow box for 3 weeks before finally realizing the tang doesn't care about it. I love that little fish though.

I have a total of 7 pink streak wrasse, not as timid .. super curious, peaceful, they love to swim together and also gets along well with my 4 pygmy possum wrasse

Got a pink streaked wrasse as well.

Mine took only a day or two to come out, and is my favorite fish. He always darts up to the glass when I am close. I've read that they are pretty timid, but I see him the most out of all the fish I have.

He eats like a pig, frozen mysis/brine/scallops/plankton + pellets and flakes. No problems with the little guy whatsoever.

Thank you, I have heard that some come out pretty early and some hide for a while.

I'm going to mainly feed frozen mysis/brine, but could I also feed flakes and pellets?

Oh great, I guess mine is an introvert!

I feed all of those alternating. He readily eats whatever I throw at him.

Hard to find fish these days for whatever reason.

yeah they are really hard to find, in the last few days live aquaria has had them though.

Mine seems to like San Francisco brand fish eggs the best.
