The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

He’s home!!
Okay, maybe I lied when I said this tank was done as a wrasse observation :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Can you blame me? I want to get a laboutei to introduce with him to the big gang!

Well, no one guessed whether my wrasse was T.nigrofasciatum or T.jansenii though i suppose that's fair since they are somatically identical. Though if you know anything about australian fish collection, the majority are from the northern east coast, where only T.nigrofasciatum are found (pacific species) while the indian ocean T.jansenii are ocasionally found only in western australia

I wish I could source a female, nobody said I couldn’t not have a pair of Lineatus with a pair of laboutei ;)

Love the Vivian in the background too!

Well, I guess we’re now at 15 wrasses in the 5’.

The Lineatus has started to come out more and aggression has began to settle.
