Not sure if it's a wrasse. I would think it's as much of a wrasse of a harlequin tuskfish, but I'm no wrasse expert, though I do know they sure do get big! Good luck with him!So is it a wrasse?
'These species have many parasites' ... uh?? :face-with-raised-eyebrow:I've never been more disappointed in wikipedia...
Ah yes, I love the family Hogfishes especially when they have many parasites!I've never been more disappointed in wikipedia...
I mean, it’s of the genus Bodianus which is in a subfamily (although I don’t know if this is in-date still).So is it a wrasse?
Yeah I was trying to find that but couldn’t find much though Wikipedia was no help of course.
Thanks! And honestly that make a a ton of sense. Tusks and hogfish are different from other wrasse.
Lyretail hogfish. Should I?
Cool! Thanks. And luckily this one is probably too big to get into my overflow.
I mean it’s not small enough to get through the slots :face-with-tears-of-joy: If anything is going to block my overflow it will be GSP.
That’s great news!Garnoti has come out of the sand!
Well, it is part of the labridae family, which is what I would consider wrasses, and seeing how people consider wrasses to be as far up the ladder as labriformes I'd say this is a wrasse.So is it a wrasse?
Well it’s a tank full of bullies. It’s really a test to see if my theory of equal aggression equals peace. So far so good.
She came back out for a little bit so I fed the tank some brine shrimp and Mysids. I squirted some into the corner she was hiding in and it looked like she grabbed a few pieces before heading back to the sand. I was so excited to see her though! Two weeks on Saturday and I hadn't seen even a glimpse. I had given up.That’s great news!
She’s beautiful too, I love the juveniles. They have such a bright stripe down them. Here’s one I nearly bought a few months back.
good... my mum can't care less about my fish fighting to the death to the degree that I am now currently considering this. However, I also want eels(and as such that is a bust).
