Moyer's leopard

Rarity points to you!

The new social fairy. I just couldn't capture the fin flash.

 

[Jdmonealp]

Looks like mine when I got it. Great fish, love when he flashes. His bright red has dulled to a darker red now. But he's still pretty

I'm looking at the Flasher and Fairy wrasses, trying to decide want I want. I know you all posted at one time what your favorite Flasher was, but I can't find it. Would ya'll tell me what your favorite is again?

I have one more question. Is the Paracheilinus octotaenia very aggressive with other wrasses (fairy and flasher)? Do they dispaly their colors much?...I guess that was 2 questions

Me too! C. lineatus is right there with the pintail though. Then there's my C. jordani....there's a pattern emerging here. Thre are so many great fairy and flasher wrasses!

 

[scchase]

My favorites Paracheilinus alfiani (oh what I would do for one) and C. jordani (got one)

 

[Maritimer]

I couldn't decide on _one_ favorite - I've got two flashers (P. lineopunctatus, low-pattern & high-filamentation, and P. angulatus, high-pattern & lunate caudal) and four fairies (C. isosceles, warm spectrum, C. solorensis and C. exquisitus in cooler colors, and C. aurantidorsalis, both warm and cool.) Caution - they're addictive!

I have C. exquisitus, C. lubbocki, and Macropharyngodon ornatus.
I haven't had a flasher before, but I really like my Lubbocks, he flashes alot, and I love his colors. I am getting a C rubrimarginatus and a
Paracheilinus octotaenia from LA this next week.
Thank you all for your replys!

Nice looking leopard!

Thx Paul! I am hoping he does well! He is already eating mysis/LRS!

What do your halichoeres wrasses look under blue lights? Do their colours still pop or do they blend into the tank? I have a black background and run a lot of blue and fish lie purple tangs would just be like a shadow swimming around the tank.

Depends on the species within the genus, some pop, others not so much. H. chrysus pops, H. rubricephalus doesn't. Melanurus isn't bad, marginatus, less so.

I think this tank is about wrassed out! Glad everyone is behaving.

I am unfamiliar with the concept of a tank being 'wrassed out'. There's always room for one more wrasse.

Lol. Yea I was thinking a possum, maybe another leopard, a lot of nice fairies out there.... Tank is only a 40 breeder and all my wrasses are small right now. Some places would have probably beat me down over it by now. Lol
