Beautiful wrasse!Just got this girl in today from TSM along with a pink streak. Will spend 4 weeks here before going to the DT. Ate mysis like a pig within 5 minutes.
Added some sand to the bottom of the acclimation box and she dove into it. Hope to see her come out tomorrow and will try to feed. I opted for no sand initially with just a piece of PVC in the box.How’s your vivienae doing now? Any improvement?
Glad she buried, that’s a good sign. Keep us posted!Added some sand to the bottom of the acclimation box and she dove into it. Hope to see her come out tomorrow and will try to feed. I opted for no sand initially with just a piece of PVC in the box.
Is he a new addition or have you had him for awhile?So my blue throat is acting normal swimming around but when I feed he darts around like he’s going to eat...but doesn’t. I feed mysis and garlic flavored pellets. Haven’t seen him eat in a week...wouldn’t he be dead by now?
Had for a bit. When added he hid for a day or so but then started eatingIs he a new addition or have you had him for awhile?
So he was eating what you’ve been offering but then stopped eating a week ago? The darting and lack of appetite could means flukes which are common in wrasse. You could try a diagnostic FW dip and post a new thread in the fish disease forum for more opinions.Had for a bit. When added he hid for a day or so but then started eating
The fish is Lemon’s picture is a juvenile that’s why it’s coloration is different from yours. You have a nice vivienae, I’m glad she recovered from her stress.Update on the Vivienae - she's doing great now, actively grazing and out and about.
Disappointed a bit by the coloration though. Picked her up from TSM and they said she's been out of QT for a couple months. Color loss from captivity/stress or just natural geographic variation? She's much paler and without the bright yellow dots/highlights in Lemon's pictures. Anyone with experience with this fish and coloration?
Thanks. I'll give it a few weeks to settle in. Transitioning could be it, though the head still looks like pure female coloration just more muted.Mine is the same. We have had them for one day. Maybe need to settle in. Could they be transitioning? Watch the humeral spot to see if it develops more blue color.
Wouldn’t I see flukes?So he was eating what you’ve been offering but then stopped eating a week ago? The darting and lack of appetite could means flukes which are common in wrasse. You could try a diagnostic FW dip and post a new thread in the fish disease forum for more opinions.
Not usually. If you do decide to dip your wrasse use a container with a dark bottom it’s easier to see flukes against a dark background.Wouldn’t I see flukes?
