The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[HairyGary]

They are very underrated I think it’s the diamond tail fault. I had one in my last wrasse tank was very active.

I already have a Brunneus very nice little one loves hunting pods with my leopards. Crescent tail is a must in any tank I have along with the pintail. I have to get some positive ID’s from the big dogs on them as they are very young. Dont think i will be adding anymore mature wrasses as I already have a few mature ones.

Thank you I do too. I’m about to give them some ROE and tiger pods also have a young copperband, Fox face(tiny juv) and a powder brown.

Yeah I like to get my wrasses young and or female so watch them grow. I would just be prepared for a little action between the Brunneus and the crescent tail as they are in the same subfamily. Given that they are both young it may be ok, especially with your other big wrasses in that tank. My fallow period ended yesterday so my Pintail and Linny go int this week. Gunshy about it but is time. Then I have flasher in QT now that has a couple of weeks yet and picking up a couple more gems this week.

I think the Royals have the same color marking as the Bells (sans the dorsal filament).

@HairyGary I have a pintail wrasse coming on Wednesday too! They’ll both go through QT together and hopefully turn into pretty males eventually.

You are putting them together ? If so be careful I tried it before twice because of my love for pintail but did not work at all.

I think @KMench was referring to a Pintail joining the female Rhomboid in QT, not two Pintails.

How many is that now? Three? The others playing nice in the DT?

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Only kept the one out of that six but I think this one may make it to my Dt this time if I keep my friends out the basement [emoji1580]‍[emoji264]

So it would be two in the DT then. Hopefully they get along.

Yes the yellow is beautiful but I had them before so I said let me try the earmuff as I always wanted them.

Just to show you my boy is doing well not the best pic just took it quick.

No I don’t they are hard to find and they go quick when you do find them.

 

[PGT253]

Thanks. I'll check with local LFS to see if they can source one.

Don’t know if you like M. Moyeri if you do new sponsors fishy business aquatics has them in stock. They also may be able to get the earmuff.

 

[KMench]

Yes I was talking about pintail with the golden rhomboid. You made me nervous at first when I saw you say potential comparability concern :eek:

 

[Bob Weigant]

I haven't been able to keep a pintail. Don't know why. All other wrasses that I have had done well

 

[Greenstreet.1]
