Yes

Do they all have that black line? I been researching it and I cannot find one similar to it.?

 

[Waffo]

I think I just found a match? Is this right?

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Yes that is it but I'm not sure on the sex

 

[Waffo]

It's a female.. It looks nothing like the male..

Actually you have a male. Females are all pink with a black dot on their tale.

 

[Waffo]

They said this is the male?

You have the regional variant of a male C. lubbocki from Cebu in the Philippines. The one you have been told is a female is the more widespread variety.

So question. I know a hear a lot of people say they feed multiple times a day their fish. I get it with dry food in an auto feeder. But when it comes to frozen food how us everyone doing it? I know with me i work from 7am until 7-9pm depending if i have to work late or not. And my lights r on from 2pm-11pm so i can at least see my fish each day. But its usually dusk in the tank when i get home.


Do what will make you happy.

Lol... Some how she found out that it was a male. Now I have to find a female by force..

 

[FLipp]

yeah it's definitely a female lubbock, i just got one myself this week.
they're not seen as often as the males.

i got a pylei and possum couple weeks back as well.

 

[revhtree]

Nice!

I would recommend a female of another species of flasher or fairy wrasse. Wrasses arent a truly paired fish, rather the role of male and female is dominance based, o a female of another species has a much better chance of not being harassed too badly.

 

[Waffo]

Ok lol.. I'm confused now.. Do I have a male or a female?
