The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

This looks like Cirrhilabrus temminckii. Might be a SuperMale as the colors are very rich and darker than a typical male. Beautiful wrasse you’ve got there

Thanks. I’ve had it for a few years. When i first received it it was pretty ordinary but now it’s really striking

I have this wrasse but I’m not sure what kind it is. I do love how it looks under blues. It looks electric.

It is a C. temminckii. Here i mine from female to male (or transitional male to supermale)

Theory is that Rubriquamis isn’t actually anything like Finifenmaa now, it’s thought Rubrisquamis is actually closer in looks to the Vibranium fairy from what I remember and Finifenmaa is our ‘Rubrisquamis’.

Good to know!

Only thing I have for Wednesday. This wrasse hates the camera

The new wrasses have settled right in. The p. Attenuatus is getting some orange coming in on the back third of his body. He’s so pretty.

Are you showing off that leopard or that gigas? Either way, both are stunning!

 

[OrionN]

That Gigas is my friend Gigas. Going to his tank Saturday. The Leopard is only 1 inch including the clear tail. Recovering from his stay at the LFS

My newest. First day or two shy as heck. More confident now and settling in nicely.

Looks just like mine - gorgeous! A fish with a lot of personality too. :)

It’s been almost a week with the new exquisite wrasse. I did have some issues with bullying from my small (and usually very cowardly) tomini tang. Luckily that has been calming down.

Other than dealing with the mean tomini, the exquisite has been very charismatic and outgoing, always swimming right up to the glass to stare at me while I stare at him. It likes to hang out with my female rhomboid, but does occasionally sprint at her. And they both eat like pigs.

I enjoy being able to take a break from work to sit and watch them all eat their lunch :)

Man I love wrasses. Gonna get a 6 line and I have a yellow right now. This page is helpful so I can see what’s out there. Thanks

Great job saving that gorgeous Leopard

I would not go with a sixline. They are not friendly to other wrasses unfortunately. The wrasse that work well together are tamarin(Anampses), fairy(Cirrhilabrus), halichoeres, leopard(macropharyngodon), and flasher(paracheilinus)

Agreed

Sold to me as a yellow flanked wrasse, but definitely think it's a blue sided wrasse.
