Where can I find this purple male Lyretail? A lot of shop says they have it but it’s the red male.
Any reliable shop ?

Find a group from Fiji and chances are you’ll get the beautiful purple colours when one transitions.

I have a purple one, but without females in the tank he faded out to a pinkish hue. I finally added one female and am hoping he will color back up.

I currently have a red one with 2 female and his colors are vibrant but my wife who hates my hobby loves the purple one . She fell in love with it when we went to an aquarium lol sadly I have to rehome my red one. Extremely healthy and active

If the red one is vibrant and thriving why risk it? She’s just going to have to understand, or even better use this as an opportunity to start a new tank! I could never get rid of a healthy thriving fish, especially one that’s more of a challenge, just to take a chance on a new fish.

I spoke with him today and yes he is difficult to understand. Especially since I don’t hear well to start with.
It was my first time speaking with him and I just gave up and told him I’ll just email him lol but he has one ready but it’s already ordered by another customer and he’ll give that person until Thursday to pay up or else it’ll be ship to me lol so excited lol

This is the only fish she wants . She’s not going to understand , she’s already hating this hobby of mine. The least I can do is give her something she wants so we can both enjoy it together lol I’m buying it from DR reef so hopefully it works out lol

No new tank . Can’t do anymore maintenance with a toddler running around.

This site comes up a lot on google searches near the top. I don’t know if I have ever ordered from them but do believe they are legit.

I have found that my wife has fallen in love with our fish. However be prepared if the fish dies. This really upsets my wife. She will then say, we shouldn’t get any more fish they all die. Ok but we have over 100 fish that are thriving.
But if momma ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy.
