No I am wrasse out. This is it for me in term of more wrasse. I need to add a trio or pair Flame Angels. That is it for my tank.

Awww man. How are the 3 potters doing?

 

[OrionN]

I need to compile a new fish list of my tank (...for my tank?). Too many wrasses in it that I have to sit down and write it all out.
I think I only have two Potter wrasse now. One was fine, but I don't see her anymore. Maybe she fell prey to one of the carpet, I am not sure. I keep on hoping that after several weeks, she just reappear out of the sand.

How's everyone's Wrasses doing?

I ended up caving and getting a pair of flame wrasses ... I’ll try and get pics later.

Well I lost the pintail,maybe crescent tail, royal and diamond to what looks like some kind of ammonia spike when I was not home I am so upset right now. The eightline in the other qt is fine may add him today after I change carbon and rowa

Just picked up a nice lookin pintail off DD today!

It should be fine with the leopards, though some leopards can be a little bossy.

The melanurus may be problematic. I have found that many male Pseudojuloides have a tendency to revert to female if they are low on the totem pole. Getting another male will likely initiate one or both to revert.

The mouth was normal.

Go slow with any meds.

Much more like a leopard than fairy or flasher.

Well unfortunately point is moot because DD contacted be today saying the fish was "damaged" and would not be shipping. Issued me a refund. Rough

Sorry to hear Greenstreet.....GL with Eightline.
I recently picked up a Brunneus hopefully it will be ok with my Katherine’s....they are really going at it with the acclimation box separating them. If they don’t settle down in a few more days then it will be placed in
my smaller grow out tank.

Thanks bud I’m feeling this one a little. But the eightline is good just put him in the acc box.
My Brunneus and Katherine’s get along fine the Brunneus was in the tank first and is still small.
I think it will work out for you just acc him for a longer time like 4-7 days. I do that when I see that they are going at the box. It was like that with my rosy scale and my rose band.

 

[Greenstreet.1]

You can see the rosy checking him out already.

 

[OrionN]

That Eightline is a beauty. I wish mine hurry up and mature :)

I have a rhomboid female that's made it 3 weeks in QT. Over the weekend I found her having trouble swimming, usually with her head upright. Now is lying on her side or upside down on the bottom. I'm thinking she somehow broke her spine... :(

Man.... sorry for your losses...sounds like my week! I lost my China Wrasse, Bicolor Angel, and captive bred Singapore angel, no disease or any issue I can see....all parameters were in check, except my pH was about 7.9 when I checked it today, it is always 8.2 to 8.3....not sure if that did it or not....so I am upset as well....my 5 Leopards are fine, and Red Coris....very frustrated to say the least!
