The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[blecki]

Well it’s a tank full of bullies. It’s really a test to see if my theory of equal aggression equals peace. So far so good.

Going the same route. But the last one I added was a yellow coris and so far nobody gives a **** about him and he doesn't bother anybody. Even the normally aggressive fish completely ignore him.

Today I did the unthinkable. I remember coming across this thread not to long ago and commenting I don’t get the whole love for wrasses?!! Well today I picked up two wrasses and probably should’ve picked up 4 all together. I got tied in to the wrasse lovers!!!
Sharing pics soon

Giving wrasse last feeding I was petting earl. He would rub on my fingers then turns and bites. Dude you beat up my fish and now bites the hand that feeds you?! I will kick you to the curb like all the others!

In defence, you did offer your hand at feeding time. How else can they know what's food and what's not without sampling?

He knows! That said I would have done the same thing if I was him.

I’ll expect him Tuesday. Add sand to the bag.

No one told me how difficult it is to take pics of wrasse they are so active.
My favorite wrasse is the leopard wrasse. Love it!
I plan on getting the yellow wrasse and timar wrasse, I think I named the last one correctly

Timor as in the island in southwest Indonesia but good job not calling the other wrasse a coris.

The black spot leopard is one of my favorites too!

He knows your hand IS food now! I hope you have chain-mail gloves!

I have same problem taking pictures of mine. They also like to disappear when I break out the camera..... Something like speak with their Agent first.

how much do cleaner wrasses eat? I think one of the cleaners at my lfs is eating consistently... and they be cheap.
I'm not thinking of getting one... Not yet.

 

[galmase]

some of my wrasses in my tank.

Anyone own a Dusky Wrasse? I want one in my tank, the coloration and body type is amazing

I’m the wild they clean hundreds of fish today. In the hobby I think a heavily stocked 100 gallon might might work. And if they are already eating frozen then less.

I have one and it is big, beautiful, and very peaceful. Love it!

I believe @OrchidMiss has a husky dusky.

Edit: apparently @Slocke has one too, and amazing pics if I recall.

wait two days and I'll have one. I did notice a bit of shoving in the sales tank during feeding but the target was a copperband(i. e. punching bag).

I’ve had my Flavidorsalis nip me a couple of times… I now have to avoid his territory and my clownfish’s territory (although my clownfish is only a tickle the Flavi is a shock).

As soon as you love one… You just need a gang of them! Here’s all my fish, half of them are Wrasse. And of course videos of both tanks to show them all off :)
