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?

If this has been over a week...wouldn’t he be dead by now or I’d be able to see other signs?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.
What type of wrasse is the first picture
What type of wrasse is that
If he hasn’t eaten in over a week I would expect him to be pretty lethargic and hiding a lot. If that’s not the case, then he’s probably eating a little. You could try live brine shrimp or LRS reef or fish frenzy to entice him into eating again.If this has been over a week...wouldn’t he be dead by now or I’d be able to see other signs?
if he truly wasn’t eating how long will he last?

It’s a leopard wrasse; macropharyngodon choatiWhat type of wrasse is that
Yeah when I feed he swims around like a nut case but I don’t see him eating the mysis.If he hasn’t eaten in over a week I would expect him to be pretty lethargic and hiding a lot.

Halichoeres chrysus is bright yellow and is a good option. I recommend using an acclimation box when introducing new wrasses to established ones.What other wrasse can I keep with my Melanarus?
was at the LFS the other day and my 5 year old wanted a banana wrasse or another one that was called a blue head wrasse I think? I googled them and it sounded like they didn’t play well with others. Thanks!
Oh and these are for a 100 gal FOWLRIf you folks could give me your input, I would love to hear it! I am looking for a list of wrasses that satisfy these criteria: must be hardy/disease resistant, not expensive (ideally under $80), great personality/interesting. Beauty and not too timid or terribly aggressive are a plus.
For example I love the six line (when I get lucky and don’t get a terror) and I think a Melanarus will be next.
My best bet would probably be in the Halichoeres genus I’m guessing.
Any personal favorites that satisfy those requirements? Can you make a list of a few that could be compatible together??Thanks!

These wrasses would meet your criteria. However, if you have a Sixline in your tank, all bets are off.If you folks could give me your input, I would love to hear it!

Thanks Orion, for the suggestions via photo now I need to go figure out which species these are!These wrasses would meet your criteria. However, if you have a Sixline in your tank, all bets are off.
