The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Meleagris is maybe 2”. Swim though eggcrate. She has no fear or care.

Went to look at half banded flasher and couldn’t pass up a little girl Vivien.

You can see the head of transitioning Half banded in the box. Just added and stressed colors

TSM aquatics does a great job of healthy fish that are eaters. Potters, Vivien, hemitaeniatus eat everything and anything. So grateful to live close so I don’t need them to ship.

Used orange filter to get a couple of hemitaeniatus half banded flasher. About 2 1/2” long

Any one know what my leopard wrasse are doing?

@Jonathan4848,
Your female is as large as the male. I think she is not been supmissive and is challenging him.

 

[Jonathan4848]

Interesting. The female also has a hint of blue so that makes sense. Thanks for the reply

Hard to take a picture of this little lady.. zOne of our tank favorites the Hawaiian Cleaner!

Horrible picture with cell phone but here's my new additions. China and carpenter wrasse

Anyone know what flasher this is. My best guess is Royal. Male or female

 

[Texas Rick]

I love the wrasse. Can I keep one in a 30 gallon tank with Coral and clowns?

Your guess is correct; it is P. Angulatus, male.

 

[Crabby48]

Your guess is correct; it is P. Angulatus, male.

Thank you. I assumed a male.

The only ones really suitable for a tank of that size are a possum wrasse or the pink streak wrasse.

Your guess is correct; it is P. Angulatus, male.

I just saw a pic of one of these Green Bird Wrasse:

Has to be one of the weirdest fish I have seen. Now I need a bigger tank so I can have one.. super cool looking fish.

With a mouth like that I would think it would eat everything in a reef tank but super cool looking
