The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

No ID. Got her for 30$

My 4 leopards. Just got the 2 smaller ones a couple days ago for 25$ each at my LFS. They are out and nipping and one even ate frozen mysis. Now i just hope one will turn into a male soon. Lol

My flasher wrasse. He seems to like my new camera as much as i do. Seems to always get my attention to take his pic.

Also have a coris as well. Been in my tank for almost a yr. and still small. But i know he might be a problem later on so i just keep and eye on him for know.


Do what will make you happy.

Looks like a Pylei in the first pic

^ It is, and the flasher is Paracheilinus filamentosus.

So is a pylei ok to add to my tank with an ornate? Thanks!

They should be fine together.

Pylei wrasse can be a bit aggressive with other fairy and flasher wrasses but should pose no problem with a potters unless it is tiny.

Let's clarify what you by "ornate"; what species?

 

[nova65ss]

This is him

Macropharyngodon ornatus (Ornate Leopard); you should be fine.

My new kids...in the acclimation for a few days. Never had two fish in at the same time, anyone think it'll be a problem?

TruRacer, what wrasses are those? They look nice

Lineatus & Labout's...Thanks for the compliments

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

looks like they aren't fighting. Put in a couple 2" PVC Tees in there for them to help with stress.

Keep an eye on them, but they should be fine. I have put multiple Wrasses in an acclimation box on a few occasions with no issues.

Geez...such an amateur! I totally forgot the PVC...it's sitting on my table behind the tank. Thanks for the catch!

Thanks...they seems fine so far...

The good thing for me is that these have both been in captivity for 6+ months...picked them up from a local reefer

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

Yeah they look friendly, nice snag. My lineatus is just starting to look like a terminal male.

 

[RedReefer]

I've had this line spot flasher wrasse 3 weeks now. By far one of my favorite fish!
