The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[Jrsyhomegrown87]

I love me some wrasse's, so I want to see everyone's wrasse pictures! Please share!

I've been practicing my fish taking.. Snapped a decent one of my Naoko Wrasse, still need to polish up on my skills though!

Edit:

Forgot my earmuff! Colors since this picture have really improved!

beautiful fish! i love my leopard wrasses, and my mystery as well. such unique fish with awesome personalities.

 

[Jrsyhomegrown87]

I have been trying to find a black leopard wrasse for the longest time, the last one on my list for my current tank.

I see negrosensis in many LFS all the time. Just keep looking, you'll find one eventually.

Loving the colorings of my transitioning negrosensis.

 

[i cant think]

Does look that way but with them their first dorsal spine is significantly elongated .

It’s possible that the one in the photo is still transitional as there are a couple colours missing such as purple in the dorsal.

That’s not even the start to my list. There’s just too many wrasses out there and they refuse to stop reclassifying each species :)

The False-stick I fear
The Strange-wood pearlescent

(julis and juloides are apparently referring to specific fish but I prefer the google translate of just stick and wood)

I think they should make a palm face slap reaction/emoji :grinning-squinting-face:

Oh I believe that :grinning-squinting-face:

The males remind me of goldfish, beautiful fish indeed.

You know what fish reminds me of goldfish? Female Lyretails.

Hmmm. So it’s debatable then? I think I’m gonna start a thread about that one.

Some of my favourites from your list:

Cirrhilabrus roseafascia: LFS has a group of these in quarantine and I am tempted on one.

Paracheilinus hemitaeniatus: :star-struck:

Paracheilinus nursalim: WOW

Pseudojuloides crux: WOW

The first one (Madagascar Flasher) is also one of my favorites on my list. When I saw it in pictures before I thought that the colors were too good to be true and that was just a certain specimen or it was edited. But once I saw them in the flesh!….it looks exactly like the photo. The pic doesn’t lye which I was very surprised about.

Wow indeed!

Take one look at Paracheilinus alfiani and tell me you would’ve thought that is a real fish if I didn’t tell you the scientific name ;)

 

[Petcrazyson]

Does anyone know where I can find the first fish? It’s been years since I saw a Madagascar Flasher in the flesh and no fish store I’ve gone to since then has carried them. The only reason I saw that wrasse was because it was special ordered. And if anyone wants to say where to find the other two, be my guest :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

 

[Petcrazyson]

Let me look it up.

Have you seen my new profile pic? Would you believe Psuedogramma taurascacas is a real fish?

 

[Fishfreak2009]

I totally get the long list of names. These are what I have now:
Cirrhilabrus rubeus
Cirrhilabrus isosceles
Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
Cirrhilabrus katherinae
Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus
Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis
Halichoeres timorensis
Halichoeres iridis
Cheilinus lunulatus

And here's what I still plan on adding to various tanks:
Cirrhilabrus briangreenei
Cirrhilabrus brunneus
Cirrhilabrus finifenmaa
Cirrhilabrus lineatus
Macropharyngodon meleagris
Psuedojuloides cerasinus
Pseudojuloides severnsi
Halichoeres chrysus
Halichoeres bivittatus
Bodianus rufus
Gomphosus varius

I was planning on getting a bunch of different fairies and flashers for my 180 to go with the broomtail, but now I'm getting a 3' ribbon eel from a local reefer at some point in January, so sticking with larger bodied fish.
