The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

My baby going on 2 years strong

Halichoeres cosmetus

Wow beautiful lineatus! Where'd u get so lucky ?

Think my 93 cube would make a good home for this guy ?

My opinion, they get too large for a 93 cube and need at least 5 feet of swimming room. I would say 4 may suffice for smaller fish but lineatus aren't small wrasse full grown (for a fairy wrasse)

Yeah, 93 is kinda small for lineatus, it can be done in some cases, but not in most.

Any recommendations then ? Or is my tank just to small ?

I love rhomboid, pintail and lunatus wrasses for that size.

 

[evolved]

Both of those tanks are pretty small. Wetmorellas and Pseudocheilinops ataenia would work and are very peaceful. A sixline or a fourline would fit but are pretty aggressive.

My thoughts exactly.

And +3 to the lineatus comments.

WYSIWYG is your best bet but they cost more. I got a beautiful pintail from Hotreef.com (vendor on here also)

Been checking out this thread for a while and enjoyed viewing everyone's wrasses. I thought I would share mine.

Female flame
Been in tank for 7-8 months. Purchased as a juvi female. This is what she looks like now. Been wondering if she is actually becoming a male?



Female hooded
Introduced her about a month ago





Male Mccoskers
Been in tank for 9 months or so
