The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[the_cros]

Here’s my current QT crew. Just added the exquisite (cirrhilabrus exquisitus) yesterday.

Now for the waiting game…
I have the 270 store credit and now we just sit and wait until that little white and orange wrasse shows up ;)
In the mean time I can always go ham on coral collecting, those 450 Torches no longer seem like a dream or impossibility.
Although I was tempted on spending 80 to get a Dragon Soul torch, that can always occur next week though.

How is this pronounced: meleagris

1. mel-lee-a(short)-gris

2. mel-league-ris

I like the second but it doesn’t really matter as I’m not getting either.

Named after Choat. Choat's wrasse. Pronounced Shot(Long O)-eye. Mel(Short E)-e(Long E)-a(Short A) -Gris. I still remember some senior year Latin.

That’s what we needed. Someone who took latin!

Since when does a CH sound like SH?

I was right on my pronunciations of melaegris, but I always though choati was K - o(long o) - ti.

I have heard many LFS's pronounce it Ch - 0(long o) - t

Thank you. Took a lot of tinkering.

I have no idea why I pronounce it Sh-o-ts and not Ch-o-ts, it’s weird as you think you know a pronunciation and then someone else pronounces it completely differently.

 

[i cant think]

Well, never thought I’d have a wrasse be my first thing to breed in my tanks! Always thought it would be clowns but I guess I’ve created the optimum environment for my pinkies :)

Anyone here have pics or own a multicolor lubbocks fairy wrasse? Im letting my gf pick one fish for my tank and she liked a picture of that one. Was kind of blurry and close up though. From what I can see the colors differ greatly.
