Do you keep anything else in the 125 or just wrasses?

A Foxface, Flame Angel, Midas Blenny, Kole Tang, and Powder Brown Tang. Just to mix it up a bit :)

Thanks!

Awesome pics! How long have you had your A. femininus?

Just added my last fish and final wrasse which is a Melanurus roughly 3.5" in size. He's in a tank with a Lubbocks, Carpenters, and Red Headed Solon wrasses. So far everyone is happy and no aggression in any way!!

Here are mine. A pintail, two lunate (the female of the pair is now a sub male) a choati, and a biocellatus. Sadly, my earli died last week after two years with me.

That's an awesome collection you have there! Sorry to hear about your C. earlie :( That's definitely a bummer. How long have you had the M. choati?

Nice acesq

I'm so bummed about the earlie. He was the longest lived fish I had. Got him from Kevin at PIA. He wasted away over a period of two weeks or so. I assume it was old age. It sure looked like it.
I've had the choati for about 11 months. He eats all frozen food very well and loves to dive into the sand to stir up pods. One of my favorite fish for sure.

I lost a terminal male C. earlie in QT after only having it a few days about a year or so ago. No warranty on it :( I replaced it recently with a nice and young juvenile. Barely 1.5" long. It's by far the fastest growing Wrasse I have.

And glad to hear about another successful M. choati experience. I've had mine 8 months now. Only thing it won't eat is nori. Its a pig for everything else.

Too bad about that terminal male. I lost my first ever me (and a few years other special fish) to a lengthy power outage. Where did you get the new earlie? Now that PIA has closed, I don't know a good supplier who has them regularly

 

[Aquaph8]

Could you guys share your temps with the Choati wrasses?

 

[reef_ranch]

I keep my tank at 77-79.

A LFS actually. Gets in all kinds of goodies :) Same place I got my M. choati & pair of P. bellae. Recently had in a half dozen P. attenuatus (I already have one though), and a supermale C. cf lanceolatus (again, already had one).

Could you guys share your temps with the Choati wrasses?

Brett, I keep mine between 75.6-76.6. I lowered it down from 77° before I picked it up. I have never seen any proof that they need lower temps, all I know is that mine has been doing great for me at these temps :)

I'd kill for a store that got cool fish in, all my store gets in is bread and butter.
