Just traded for one of my diamond tail. It just came out of copper so no qt. That’s not saying much as I did not do it but i think and I’m hoping all is well came from as they say a good dealer [emoji848]‍

That's it. Hope the red velvet plays nice.

At first he don’t but usually after day 4 all is good he did that to the red margin now they are best friends.
Think my pintail will be next to go in.

Hey guys I have a tiny issue with two of my wrasse's I have a mystery wrasse.... and scarlet pin Stripe Wrasse... the Scarlet chases the other wrasse all over the tank!! I added the Scarlet to acclimation box to bring down the aggression and left him in it for three weeks, released him back to the tank again.....and he is still trying to bully the mystery wrasse again!! Can they coexist together?? Or should I pull out the Scarlet wrasse!? The tank is 75 gallons

Both of those are in the genus Pseudocheilinus. They are known to be aggressive toward other wrasses, even worse the more closely related they are. One will definitely need to be removed. Keeping either will likely prevent any other wrasses being added.

Yup; +1. You definitely can't keep those two together.

Thanks. I start to regret not trying to get that super male Flame Fairy Wrasse when I have chance in San Antonio a few weeks ago.
I just hope this Eight Line will grown and color up to befit the price tag.:)

You are better than I cause I could not pass on a flame that’s another must have for me I miss my pair every time I look at my tank.

My male found the one defect in my screen cover and got in to the overflow a while back. Usually that's no big deal but he was so big he couldn't fit through the constriction at the valve in my full siphon drain. When the Hawaii stuff started I snatched up a female as soon as possible. Look forward to her becoming what my old male was.

Marble wrasses also develop an attitude as they mature.

+1! I had just that happen to me with a checkerboard wrasse.....put him in all was fine...then when he started to mature that was it....went after all four of my Leopards....until they wouldn't come out if the sand....so back to the LFS he went...and all of my leopards were happy again....lesson learned....

I killed a Supermale Lineatus![emoji30]
I bought it Saturday. I did my acclimation process like I normally do with all my wrasses. This time I decided to put him in an acclimation box because he is almost the same size as my Pink margin about 4-5 inch. On Sunday, he was doing good. He was eating pellets and frozen blood worms. I decided to keep him in the box 1 more day. I came home yesterday, it looks like he injured himself. He stopped eating.[emoji31] In retrospect, I should have release him Sunday.

Oh man.... sorry for your loss! Did you buy him from LA/DD?
