The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Ziggy and Bowie for the mandarins. Elton for the gramma. Patches for the marisrubri. Tim the Timor? Tinkerbell for the isosceles? Any other famous fairies for the exquisite?

Some great suggestions to consider! Though I don’t have an isosceles unfortunately.

Wednesday wrasse tax

We might need to audit your taxes to make sure you don't owe us any more pinkie pics.

Sad day, the guy with my QT'd pinkie sold it to someone else :-(

Ha, sorry, I get crescents and pintails mixed up in my mind.

 

[JoJosReef]

Guess this is relevant here, too. Maybe I'll start thinking of names for the upcoming C. rubeus and/or pinkie!

Oh man, that’s a bummer :/

Are they going to get another one in for you? Hopefully they can get one soon, or give you a deal because of the situation.

I’ll try and get some more pics of the two. They usually hang out near their condo behind the rocks during the peak of the day when the big fish are being rowdy. It’s their safe place, but it’s shaded and difficult to get good pictures back there!

No I’m not getting him. It was one Joel had. Found the picture in my phone when I was deleting old pictures. I thought about one

She is fast and she tries to be sneaky. Don’t let her looks fool you she is scared and living alone. She wants company but once that day comes she wont be happy

Went to take my wrasse tax photo and one of our new little magmas had jumped. I feel awful. Days like this I’m not sure about this hobby anymore… I was standing there the whole time doing a water change and didn’t see her jump through the screen onto the overflow lid.

Sorry for your loss. Keep your chin up, all of us wrasse keepers loose one to jumping at some point.

Sorry for your loss. Can’t blame yourself some fish we can save from jumping. We do our best and working on the tank or adding something helps ease the sadness

Can we make top 6 Halichoeres? Always wanted one but turn them down because of choats but I do like the Jewelled. Besides the yellow coris it’s the second most labeled wrong wrasse

Sorry to correct you but according to ReefPro that’s a leopard wrasse not a Halichoeres. ;) :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
