The wrasse gang is growing, I found this pintail fairy wrasse at my LFS and couldn’t pass home up. After QT he will join my Canary top wrasse in the 300g. Can’t wait to get more wrasses into the tank as the canary top is one of our favorite fish in the rank so far

Beautiful fish! I hope you have better luck than I did. Had to catch mine last weekend and separate him after he turned into an absolute villain. After a few months, a switch flipped, and he nearly killed my dejongi and wouldn't let my bipartitus out of the corner.

By far the hardest wrasse to get a picture. She is was the size of a frag plug when I got her. Now she is about an inch. Too small to sell so I’m growing her some in the 20.

Guess what wrasse

It’s getting to sardine size. Still my favorite by far.
Mine to but potters edges out Vivien on colors for me. Highly recommend an Earl for personality and a face you have to love.
trying to stay away from fairy’s in a shallow tank. To jumpy. Chill leopards for me and I always had a soft spot for leopards. I find them the easiest wrasse to keep all around.

Can wrasse expert help me to identify my cute wrasse? Bought it from LFS and they told me she is Lubbock's wrasse but I couldn't find similar picture except those false dot on tail. She is shy whenever I come close to QT tank so it's very hard to take good pictures.

Did you hit them with antibiotics? Wrasse do very good with antibiotics in my experience. The hard is knowing if infection is gram negative or positive. A do all like NFG covers both in one med.
Did you receive them with infections or they develop in Qt? If they have damage and ship long distance I see infections get bad

No. They came in healthy and were eating for almost 2 weeks. LFS said that they suddenly developed a white patch on the side and were both dead the next morning. I only saw them when they were healthy
