The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Can someone help me find a pink-streaked wrasse, I have been looking forever and it seems like no one has them. Are they seasonal. It's the one fish I need for my small tank that is holding up my last addition. Thank you.

My new Terelabrus wrasse I'm QTing right now. One of the most curious fish I've seen, has been eating anything I put in the tank since day one.

Never seen my Meleagris Leopard so horny. He is in his counting suit a lot. More than I ever seen before. Hope it won’t wear him down resulting a stress and dead Leopard.

Alright guys, Im looking to add one more wrasse. I want something that is a stunner but will stand up to the Ornate leopard in the tank. He can be a rather obnoxious fish at times. Especially to the Choati in there. I was thinking about Melanurus but I have read they can be hard on hermits and snails. Any other suggestions?

You can add a Iridis pair as pictured below. They are stunner for sure. Best most unusual of the Genus.
My Radiant pair

Or a Bluethroat Fairy, Naoke , Splendid Pencil wrasse. These will not be bother by your resident wrasse.
Stunning is the one word you can use to describe these wrasses.

Not sure I would put melanurus and stunner in the same sentence.

My Melanurus likes swimming above my Hollywood Stunner.

I disagree.

Can I add a leopard wrasse to an existing mystery wrasse in a 60 gallon

 

[Tcook]

I disagree.

If you have a male like that. Supermale/nuptial coloration?

I would not. Mystery can be quite aggressive towards other wrasses. They are beautiful though.

That’s something I need to get out of my tank. 8” disc already and wreaking havoc on nearby corals. Glued to the rocks like epoxy. Second time I have tried it. Didn’t learn my lesson.

How would an earmuff, leopard, chaoti, and flasher work?

Fine. I had that combo with a Babi instead of the earmuff.
