The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

The second is a close relative to another wrasse I’ve got (and I’ve had that wrasse with a close relative before). It also has gorgeous red/pink bars down it’s body.
I've got my money on Cirrhilabrus earlei, Mr. High Roller!

I wish!
Instead it’s not a rare wrasse by any means but is gorgeous.

Bingo!

And yes I know the risks but I figured this species is further away in relation than a second lubbocki so it should work considering those two got along. Also I’m adding a Finifenmaa first to distract then adding the Flavi hopefully Sunday with less issues as there will be 2 Newbies.
 
When is comes to wrasse choices this is @i cant think :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I’m not picky… It’s just when they’re red or purple they catch my eye quickly ;)

I think it’s safe to say that both of your tastes in fish sometimes perplex me and I’m sure it goes the same for my taste to you.
 
Oh happy day!

Bad photo, but I was trying to be a statue and zoomed in from my chair. Bad video following. As soon as I got a bit closer, it did a 180 and right back in the sand like lightning.

Fin is in the tank!
The naoko has began to display (Not anything aggressive or constant just small spurts of displaying). And he’s been out and feeding already so clearly nobody is hating him enough to stress him out.

Hopefully tomorrow he’ll be out and ready for a bit more photography along with the naoko!
 
Have some RFAs spawning again tonight (last one was May 5th, so a little soon).

Mr. and Mrs. Pink Streak see these as a holiday or something. They usually go to sleep before everyone else, but they just got up and made their pilgrimage over to the spawning flowers haha

Just woke up and traveling:
