It’s hard to tell in the picture however it looks somewhat like stress colouration. Do you have a sand bed?
yes i have Sand...It’s hard to tell in the picture however it looks somewhat like stress colouration. Do you have a sand bed?
How deep is it?yes i have Sand...
I meant maturing female not transitional male sorry.in some points there are 4-5cm and i know she goes under the sand, seen every night.
it's a female, confirmed by you and other some days ago
She doesn't get touched or stressed by other fishes, absolutely nothing , they are ignoring her.
It is possible it’s a wound from hitting the glass or rockwork whilst burrowing.it looks like that but there are some white hair on the head. strange
Absolutely love him!Just wanted to throw my Halichoeres bivittatus out there for the world to see. (hehehehe)
I think that is an adorned wrasse above . Looks exactly like mine in the picture with the two eye spots on the dorsal fin.
Colouration looks very faded. What are you feeding your wrasse? and yeah they will need a deep sand bed 2-4" fine sand to sleep in or to hide in if they get spooked. sometimes my adorned wrasse will disapear for hours for no reason lol
@iLMaRiO regarding your pictures of your wrasse ^^^^^
I have had experience with them and other wrasses, they are much less aggressive when added last but they’re rather aggressive when they’re one of the first to go in the tank.Anyone have experience with c. Aurantidorsalis (orangeback)?
more aggressive than I think I want according to the comparability chart, but those colors…
hmmm...i have 6 fish in now, only the one wrasse. its a 6 foot 220 so space is hopefully on my side?I have had experience with them and other wrasses, they are much less aggressive when added last but they’re rather aggressive when they’re one of the first to go in the tank.
That sounds like a great plan for wrasses, be warned that flashers don’t often take well to stress/aggression unless established so you will most likely want to get your flasher(s) in first unless you know your wrasses will ignore the new wrasse until it establishes itself.hmmm...i have 6 fish in now, only the one wrasse. its a 6 foot 220 so space is hopefully on my side?
TSM has a good selection available for pre order right now (and all ones i havent found locally). orangeback's , red margins, yellow flanked, solar, ruby finned and sailfin.
i already have too many red fish so i was thinking about this as my fairy group:
- c. bathyphilus (hooded) -->already have
- c. rubrimarginatus (red margin)
- c. aurantidorsalis (orange back) or c. lyukyuensis (yellow flanked)
id like at least one flasher after that as well but i can find those locally.
am i missing any glaring issues with the above group? i think they hsould be ok based on the chart.
