I will admit, I caved in and have bought one as three came in!
I wish that was mine although one is looking similar to that photo.
Yes, go take your GF out for a well-deserved nice night out!
Absolutely grab one! They love frozen mysis, and need a sand bed. Easily bullied, they do well without aggressive or bold large fish. My Pseudojuloides splendens lives with a lemonpeel angel, a few butterflies, a bunch of fairy wrasses, a Possum wrasse, a few different Halichoeres, a tilefish, some gobies, a quintet of anthias, some clowns, cardinals, a molly, and a dottyback.
Nice! I just got a splendens on Tuesday. Struggling through some QT roght now. Seems he likes Nutramar press-on shots (~1/4 ball pressed onto rock).
Once they settle in and are eating, as long as they aren't bullied or have any physical trauma, they're pretty much bulletproof.Nice! I just got a splendens on Tuesday. Struggling through some QT roght now. Seems he likes Nutramar press-on shots (~1/4 ball pressed onto rock).
Here he is being active. No idea if he's doing well or not. He's made 4 brown ~5mm long poops though.
Smaller mouth than I expected. I have small and medium TDO pellets, and he's ignored the small pellets (which I remove). Baby brine shrimp he seems to casually pick off. The press on shot went the fastest, so that'll keep him for the time being.

Good to hear. It just passed a month for me and I haven’t heard anything
I wiukd try calling Mike. He has an assistant now, so might not get straight through to him, but I've had success getting feedback by telf.
Do it!
Yep! That should be able to help him through 2 days :)Fixed broken link in post above with videonof splendens:
After another chaotic day, transferred the splendens from the 2 gal bucket to the 13.5 gal Evo. The bucket was starting to build up ammonia, and although the Evo wasn't perfect (still reading about 0.1 ppm total NH3+NH4), was clear he needed to move. The heat is becoming problematic, though. Hopefully the fans can keep up.
Someone suggested adding a fairy to help the splendens learn to eat, which now has me thinking what to get next!
Major problem: weekend is here and I don't have a way to feed the splendens. Not sure what he likes eating yet. If I dump a bottle of pods in the tank, would that feed him for the weekend?
Trust me, if you think he’s nice now just wait until he colours up! He will be a pure stunner :)Haven't seen many wrasses here lately...
He's starting to eat stuff I put in, just not pellets. ROE, PacPods, ArctiPods and baby brine shrimp seem to be catching his attention, especially when they are nestled in the rocks/Codium. He loves picking around the rocks/codium.
If I can't get him any pods today for the weekend, I have 3 nylon sponge amphipod breeding pads in the back of my 40 and I'll move them over so he has something to eat.
