The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[townjas]

Thanks, she is a cutie! She's been in the holding tank about 2 weeks (with copper). I never noticed it and go there often! She swam around and kept laying on the sand. Kinda has me worried. She's real skinny. I think she finally made her way into the sand for the night. Really hope to see her swimming around tomorrow.

Knowing that they are picky eaters andprimarily eat pods I don't think I would use copper since it kills pods

OK last one guys. What's the opinions on a pseudojuloides severnsi? I've read picky eaters that usually die in 2 months, also have seen success stories.

Pseudojuloides are a lot like leopards. They are sensitive to shipping and need to be dewormed. If these are accounted for they can be wuite hardy. Pencil wrasses are very peaceful.

Yes I know, all of his fish holding tanks have copper in them. :/

Tiny little M. negrosensis.

I hope she pulls through! She is adorable!

Well the black leopard died over night. I kinda seen in coming but couldn't just give up hope. I really wanted to see her pull through. I think she stayed in the sand the whole time in the holding tank. I went ahead and ordered a yellow banded possum wrasse though. Excited to get it. Should be a large, so I'm guessing 2"? Lol.

So have possum wrasses become rare or what? They are very rarely available in my area and the prices have seem to have gone up. Paid $80 for a yellow banded. I remember them being about $40. Was just curious is all.

Not to my knowledge, they have been as available as normal. $80 is on the high side, but not out of the realm of what can be asked.

Very LQ shots of the new guy.

A little phone video of the possum lurking in the caves.

Anyone know what kind of wrasse this is? It was at the Barcelona Aquarium and no ID.

My Wrasse going to sleep like clockwork nightly. Burying itself in the sand.

So cool! Lol at how all the fish think it's food. ;)

Leopard calling it a day... that Cirrhilabrus didn't have a clue what just happened. Lol.

Figured I'd might as well snag up the 5,000th post in this thread! It's been an awesome thread!

Got a couple decent pics tonight, I hate taking pics of wrasses
Almost decent pic of my Rhomboid

partial group pic

Why can't they be slow like cardinals, only took 1 pic versus the dozens for each wrasse
