The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

So Who got the pencil ?

I woulda sat there to snag it, but got this bad boy in recently and will focus on it.

But this is the 1st sight of one in a year for me. Hopefully more to come. I wonder how they caught it with that hawaiian net rule? So slender...

Back to this Potters. Looks a little thin but overall is alive. Havent gotten a chance to check its beak closely, but at initial glance its OK.

Man with all These Potters you guys are getting me jealous.

Man.. I've waited and tried asking every vendor and LFS since Nov.

I wish there was a camera when I got the email notification. Was frantic bc my credit card was in the car and didn't save my payment method. So I hurriedly logged into paypal and clicked pay.

I hope my ornate will play nice if I do get them really wanted the choati but those are even harder to find right now.

Normal LA had Choatis a few times in the past recent months.

Would love to see a female Kuiters in person, so I can decide which of them I want next.

I was not fast enough for those. For me out of those two it’s whichever one I get first I love the both. I ordered two kuiters with my last order but they did not come.

They can be aggressive. I would love to add 3-4 Potters and call it a day for that species

My male Ornate is a PITA with all my Leopards unless they are really small.....GL

Why didn't they come? Or DOA

Hey guys, just found this thread.... I too love Wrasse. Currently in my 210 I've got a yellow corris, pink margin fairy, red head solons, and a six line all model citizens. Love their activity, and the utility of the six line and corris are great too. What are some not terribly expensive but colorful / active additions to the tank?

My guess is that the importers sold them all before they got to my list

The potters are nice but I would take kuiters or choat’s first[emoji23]

LFS can get me a Magma Fairy for about $225... which is more than double what I've paid for any other fish, but man is it a cool looking wrasse.

Mine is good with my bluestar until it’s time to sleep I guess he don’t want her going to bed before him

I too had a well behaved sixline when I first got into the hobby as that is the first wrasse I fell in Love with but he would not let me add any fairy’s to the tank it killed my Solons [emoji33] but my tank was not as big as yours so you may have better luck adding more wrasses but I would say be careful with that sixline in there.

what "zone" of the tank do leopard wrasses usually occupy? The lower half? Middle?

They cruise all over the tank. But I would say lowwr half bc theyre cruising the rock and substrate for food

Once you have a healthy tank with pods and other live foods in the tank they will be all over.

 

[linus.chan]

so essentially they would be competing for space with fairies?
