No need to apologize.. it’s hard to express tone in text messages, emails or blog posts lol..Sorry if i came across rude in that post at all, sometimes dont realise until after i post it i may come across off lol.
Halichoeres iridis/radiant wrasse is my favoruite of that genus, though is a bit touchy on occasion
Halichoeres melasmopomus/earmuff wrasse
Halichoeres melanurus
Halichoeres cosmetus
Cirrhilabrus lunatus and their complex including the pintail, brunneus and johnsons fairy wrasses being the more common members
Cirrhilabrus rhombiodalis and members of its complex like the lineatus and pink.margon fairy wrasses
All flasher wrasses are good choices, though the eightline is known to be somewhat more agressive to other planktonivores.
Generally common names consist of the species part of the latin name followed by wrasse eg halichoeres cosmetus is the cosmetus wrasse or halichoeres melanurus being the melanurus wrasse.No need to apologize.. it’s hard to express tone in text messages, emails or blog posts lol..
can you provide common names instead of the scientific genus to the above listed wrasses? It going to be hard explaining to my LFS that I want a fish I can’t even spell let alone pronounce..
That may be true, but on the flip side if you go ask them for a "Christmas wrasse" you might get any one of 5 different species - and those 5 species are NOT interchangeable.Thank you.. the more common names are what the LFS sells the fish it’s tough to go to a new here and say... I’m looking for this scientific named wrasse lol...
Not available to collection at this time.Has paracheilinus walton ever been collected, or is too remote/ not available for collection
Are they closely related to the nursalim flasher wrasse
Thank you, ill give the rest a read tomorrow, looks very interesting
Phylogram on pg. 85
Thanks hard to get a good picture of him.Nice hemi in the background
Beautiful fish!!
They are looking great. I love my Black Leopards.My 2 female black leopard wrasse.
I think the conventional wisdom on these wrasse is cool temperature. No more than 76F, due to where they come from. Take this with a grain of salt since I am too tight wadded to spend 500.00 on a wrasse that I maybe not able to keep alive long term.Would high temperatures around 79-80 cause my lennardi to hide in the sand more?
It is not being chased at all and eats great whenever it comes out. But the past 2 days, it has barely came out besides when I was basting the sand to get detrius then he swims around for a little while eating, etc before diving back in the sand.
could high temps 79-80 cause this?
It very well could; that's considerably warmer than the waters they're collected from.Would high temperatures around 79-80 cause my lennardi to hide in the sand more?
