The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

So this is what it is!

Added to my stock list lol

Yup!
One of the nicest wrasses I’ve seen and for now my rarest :)
Honestly, if you like the appearance of a Dragon Wrasse juvenile you’ll like this wrasse. They are truly beautiful.

I need to practice my photography again after being out of the game for about a week but I’m sure the photos will get better :)
I now have a total of 9 wrasses, guess we’ll have to even that number out soon.

He liked this wrasse. Then pretended he didn’t. Then came to his senses:)

I still don't know what it is? I was assuming gold nugget by the description 2 pages back, but after seeing it......

I think I payed $80 for both of my pintails.

Hopefully you get one - Still waiting for TMC to get in another Aussie load now that it’s Aussie season!

Yup!
I saw and have a photo of a gorgeous male somewhere round here but just never pulled the trigger then this one came up for about 75% of the original price at £30 (this species comes in at 175 for a young male, 140 for a female and about 230 for a mature male) you just know I had to pull it and so I now have 2 wrasses with the leopard body :)

Thats basically what mike told me. He's waiting for more Aussie shipments. When they start arriving he should have the choati.

I did not realize they are only found in Australia.

Honestly, the choati looks like a fish that would be endemic to somewhere like the Red Sea because of the unusual colouring they have.
Hopefully we get another aussie shipment in soon :)
I believe they’re generally at the end of every month so I believe an aussie shipment should be due this week or next week.

 

[homer1475]

Yeah mike said he should have one coming in this Tuesday. He ordered the choati, but he said sometimes they don't collect them and he doesn't get them.

Quick question..... How would a yellow tail tamarin get along with my current gang?

Yellow corris
exquisite fairy
melagris leopard
moyers leopard

Of course I'm going to add back at some point:
Pintail flasher
black leopard
choats leopard

Mike has one for a decent price, and of course I just showed my wife, and now she wants it. LOL

Honestly, I don’t see too much of an issue other than maybe a bit of aggression from the Moyeri.
Besides;
If the wife loves it, surely you should get it?

I just got one obviously and it is my second smallest wrasse after my cleaner and for some reason all the other fish have left it alone except for that cleaner who really hated it. I’d say you’d have no issues probably.

 

[homer1475]

I didn't know if looking like a leopard would mean some aggression. My moyeri is a big wimp.

Moyeri are slightly more boisterous than other Leopards generally however if yours is a wimp then it shouldn’t be too bad :)

A few new additions…. currently have about a dozen wrasses now.

Be careful with that Cyanopleura and Aurantidorsalis, they may not get along due to being closely related.
That lineatus is gorgeous though and looks to be thriving in your care :)

LOL quote fail!

He must have been editing it from thumbnails to full pics, when you quoted him.
