The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[Petcrazyson]

Male are only $125 plus shipping. I could qt them for you but it costs $250 per tank but if you conditioned two fish at the same time it’s not bad.

That’s pretty cheap lol. I like that price, and so does the wallet. Which fish did you say they were again? And from which store?

I was about to say, it’s no longer C. cf lanceolatus but seems that you’ve managed to change that in the description.

I was tempting on getting one, the LFS I went to on Sunday had an Isosceles that was half the price I usually see them at but neither of my tanks are suitable (Besides, I’m still hunting down two tanakai’s along with a Multicolor Angel to potentially finish the stocking of the 3’ tank).

My 20 long is ready so now I'm on the lookout for a P. ataenia!

Cant wait to see if you find one!! I’m still fighting my three to get a nice family photo… seems like there’s always a third wheeler whilst the other two are hanging together.

Are you also hunting for a Wetmorella species? If so, which one?

Me? Not planning any Wetmorella.

I forgot I have a pintail just completing qt. Here’s a pic I just snapped of him.

Love my pintail!

One of the most boisterous fish in my tank. Just a close second to the blue eye kole. Not in a mean way, just in an always out and about kind of way.

Saw a beautiful example of a red head wrasse today. Haven’t seen one of these guys in quite a few years. I wish I was able to grab a picture but here’s one for reference

One of my absolute favorites! I’ve been looking for one for a long time.

The one I saw is for sale. If you’re interested shoot me a PM. I was told it came from the suppliers private display

These are popping up more often for me, albeit I am on the opposite side of the pond to you guys. I think I’ve seen 3 in the span of 2 years.

Probably 5 or 6 years ago they were fairly common for us. For a few weeks throughout the year they could be ordered and it was like that for a year or 2 and then they disappeared from stocking lists

Update on my splendid pencil wrasse. My Nahacky's fairy wrasse dominates him, he flashes and charges at him which has caused a couple of blemishes. Just another example that every wrasse is an individual - they don't always conform to their expected behavior.





Here's the Nahacky's puffing up getting ready to flash at him.

Funny to hear about the nahackys, the blemishing isn’t too bad by the looks of it Atleast.

Hey, now I’m not the only one who has wrasses that behave differently to how they’re known about behaving.

And all female leopard SHOULD get along.....

Tell that to my melagris, and moyers.

In theory, but nope. My black leopard female killed a meleagris female that was twice her size.

Talking about leopards, how’s the Kuiters doing salty?
