The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Ive been wanting to get a pink margin for a while. Was on the fence as it would exclude a lineatus, but ultimately this was more easily available.

Why would it they said the same about him and my velvet and all was good with them.

In my wrasse tank I had a red margin in the with a lineatus and a lineatus is on my list the only wrasse I want that I will not get is a Scott’s added one to the wrasse tank and he was a big time bully will not do it again [emoji33][emoji23]

I guess I'll consider it. An expensive attempt if it doesn't work out though.

Yes it is if you don’t feel right about it don’t do. My love and addiction for wrasses make me do and try crazy things.

I hear that. Definitely getting the wrasse bug now. Love the motion and colors they provide to a coral heavy tank without any issues with picking or eating corals that I've had with other "reef-safe" fish (like angels and even tangs).

Absolutely! I thought about replacing the angels and Blenny I lost, but decided to keep it Wrasse only.....

I have a mixed fish reef...Angels, tang,Anthias, yellow assessor, damsels, clowns blennis, chromes, but as far as wrasses currently I have a few....
Greyhead
Pink margin
Yellowflanked
Black Leopard
Ornate leopard
Blue star leopard
Male/ female Meleagris leopards
Katherine’s
Brunneus
Crescent tail
Pintail
Eightline flasher
Lineatus
Yea, I know I have way too many fish, and feed heavy to keep aggression to a minimum....so to keep the SPS happy I have a large fuge and skimmer, do water changes and carbon dose ....

Nice. How to the Brunneus, Lunatus and Isosceles get along? How big a tank?

 

[MIKE NY]

They’re in a 170 and are fine after time in an acclimation box. The problem was with the Brunneus and the Katherine’s. I had the Brunneus in the box for almost a week till the Katherine’s settled down. Now just a little bickering, but no damage.

If anyone in the Los Angeles area is interested in a VERY nice 6-7” male Lineatus wrasse for $150, Age of Aquariums in Long Beach has one. Just bought a female for $100

They are my go to LFS and have dedicated quarantine tanks for both incoming fish and corals. Their quarantine tanks vastly out number their display tanks with livestock and they treat their fish with therapeutic levels of chelated copper and prazi. They might allow you to view their quarantine tanks depending on if you’re a regular. Never hurts to ask though.
