Yes! Say yes!

I think that's why she said "Ugh"

She is well beyond the ugh stage in her warsse career. The response now is “bag it up”

I considered throwing the dottyback in with the Bad Guys and putting the baby leopard in my bedroom, but it's crushed coral substrate. No soft sand for pretty baby leopard.

China Wrasse, Anampses neoguinaicus, will eat everything. They don't ship well and often has mouth injury which cause them to be labeled as "difficulty" but the are hardy and has a varied diet and easy to keep if you got one that is healthy and eating.

Thank you! I’m going to order a quarantined one and hope it ships well.

This whole tank wanted to come home with me... unfortunately I only left with plants.

Hello. I will be stocking my 120g with wrasses. Currently I have a lineatus, nahacky, carpenters, yellowfin fairy in my qt. Will add exquisite soon. Will adding radiant wrasse be ok? or is it too much?

Im open to suggestions on what wrasse I can add too. Btw bigger fishes I will be putting are magnificent fox, white tail tang, yellow and purple tang.

Nahacky isn't a commonly seen one, and very pretty.
Would love to see photos of your current wrasse.
I think a radiant will be a beautiful addition.

@i cant think, @Cael Gallery, @Boreas_SA
You guys has experiences with the Pseudocoris wrasses. How big do they get and how well do they do in aquarium. Looks like they re really build for speed. do we see speed injury related in aquarium with this Genus?
Thanks all in advance.

Belated reply, but here goes on Pseudocoris. Tried a few before that were biggish (3-4 inch) and they just wasted away without wanting to eat. Then this tiny aurantiafasciata came in. I had it in a qt for a while where it slept in a plastic tub full of sand. Didn't see it much, and eventually moved the whole bucket of sand into the display not really knowing if it was even in there anymore (risk move out of a qt without meds, but thought that was the best chance it had). Think I didn't see it in display for a week or 2 and almost took the tub of sand out again, but then saw it one morning early swimming around. First few weeks was only awake for an hour or 2 early morning. It was quite skinny, so I dewormed it with Prazicleanse in the food. Took a month or so to gain proper weight, but now that it is fat and up all day it is growing really fast, probably close to 3 inch now compared to probably under 1 inch in October last year. Very peaceful and doesn't really bother anything, even added a small leucoxanthus 3 months ago and it ignored it completely from the start.

Thank you! I have access to a lfs that has radiant wrasse. I know they dont do well when shipped.
Do you have anymore suggestion on what wrasse i can add?

 

[BasementBox]

sigh, Pintail Wrasse clearly has some kind of eye injury or infection. Eating and swimming, not as active as usual, but hes still kicking. Wonder what happened - shouldnt be any crazy parasite.

 

[OrchidMiss]

@KGscv Do you have a price limit? lol
