The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[KaneH]

A friend of mine has agreed to take the carpet. He was getting too big for my Tank, anyways. I'll get a bubble or sedae, instead. My clowns will be happier, too.

bubble tips are far easier to keep, and IME less dangerous.

Not very good at fish pics but thought i would share my newest addition


Scotts fairy wrasse

 

[Mike&Terry]

^^ That's a GREAT pic of your Scotts. :bigsmile:

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

So the other day I got a Anampses meleagrides & a Macropharyngodon lapillus they both seem to have gone in hiding since adding them to the tank, should I be worried or just leave it for them to come out by themselves?

 

[Timidfish]

I would say leave it be. My wrasses hid for 3 days and then only came out if nobody was in the area of the tank. Now a few weeks have gone by and one comes to the food while I am feeding. The other is getting close to that.

News from home the Anampses meleagrides is swimming around... Now just the Macropharyngodon lapillus to show face...

 

[Aquaph8]

Get us some pics of those two when they both settle in, those are two we don't see to often in the US.

I love my two wrasses. Red corris and potters wrasse

 

[Aquaph8]

Nice, those two gotta be some of the prettiest fish around.

 

[cginter]

The color and patterns are amazing. I wish I had a good camera to take better pictures

Will try my best to get an awesome pic as they are quick little buggers & are camera shy ATM.

This morning as the lights came on I spotted the Anampses meleagrides swimming around & the Cirrhilabrus exquisitus was in one of the caves all flared up but looked like it was sulking because I woke it up by switching the lights on...

What's the fish on the right? Both look nice

The fish on the right is Halichoeres hortulanus, the checkerboard wrasse.

I have filimented flasher wrasse and he is picking on my clowns a little and losing a little color I was read to maybe add a wrasse of a different species anybody got any ideas or suggestion I have a 38 gallon innovative marine tank

 

[MistaOrange]

Sadly I lost my Macropharyngodon lapillus yesterday not sure why though maybe it was stressed out but my Anampses meleagrides is doing well though... Will post pics soon...

It is quite possible your clowns will be too aggressive in that size of tank for any wrasse. What species of clowns?
