The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[jkcoral]

I used to complain that my wrasses took ages to transition but this girl has been with me for 2 years and doubled in size and is now transitioning at 1.5-2” long.

If I had a blue star that was <1” long when I got it I’d be praying every day that it never change because that would just about be the cutest thing in the world!

Beautiful fish. Any plans for a girlfriend or two once he completes his transition?

That's very small for an M. bipartitis is it not? Aren't they at close to 5" fully grown? How long does it take them to reach full growth?

Your measurements are off if you got a wrasse 1" or under it would be post-larval stage Lol
Use metric my friend!

Would like if the vendor took pictures of his own fish instead of random “beautifully perfect” internet photos

He message me about them this morning. Waiting on them from collection. If I don’t hear back today I’ll order from them again

Just checking it out it seems like a nice online store, good prices too

Yup! That’s him :)
Guess I have no excuse to not try out another leopard - I was only questioning it to prevent her from transitioning but oh well.

I’m not so sure if he has fish or working out of a place other than him. I had 3 addresses. Maryland and two in CA. One was his house. He said they are new and appreciated the help get going. DT came in looking good and shipped same day

Could you Pm me on how he does shipping packaging, other details?

I could. It was a box with a bag or water. Nothing fancy just what is needed. If you need details then I could help. Nothing missing and nothing extra.
