The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[websurfer]

You can buy another female however with wrasse it’s more recommended to have 3 females so one will become male and the other two will stay female and the male has a choice over pestering one female constantly.
Also yes yours is a Beautiful female M. bipartitus, makes look completely different in colour (Body shapes are very similar).

Thank you very much I Just happen to find a really good article on here as well..
Now I have another question.

If i should add these now or wait until my S-1000 gets here then add the new ones.. The current tank its in is a xl525 current fish. 2 tangs , Blenny, 2 gobies , 3 clowns

You could get away with adding them however Id recommend waiting due to the tangs having established territories in that tank but in a new tank they won’t

Any suggestions on who to buy flasher and/or fairy wrasses from? So far I've been keeping my eyes on TSM Aquatics and Divers Den, but I've had bad luck with LiveAquaria so I'm not sure I'd risk ordering from them again. Seems like the selection at most places has been lacking, which I'm assuming is related to covid.

TSM, all my wrasses have come through them

So I just got a Chinese wrasse FLS. She is a beauty. I would like to introduce a cleaner, leopard, mccoskers and maybe a yellow. My tank is 120”x24”x24” about 300 gallons. What do you guys think? Any advice will be appreciated.

If she’s Anampses neoguinaicus you should be just fine putting wrasse with her (the Leopard should be put in first - before the other more aggressive guys - is what I’d say)
I’ll add my thoughts on adding peaceful wrasse in with the “aggressive” wrasse once my two get the right size.

You really do need to show some pictures!! I’d love Atleast 3 leopards in my tank but that’s not for another 10 years or so (Once I can keep a Regular leopard & a Black leopard for 5 years each).

He's starting to look more manly every day :cool:

Work is boring, taking pictures is fun! Mccoskeri enjoying morning blues :cool: Seeing these colors before the T5s turn on makes me want to go all LED again.

I'm hoping this one stops growing, else I'm afraid I have to rehome him. He's becoming a big boy...

I caught one of the two Lubbock’s flashing!! Tried to get a detailed photo but failed. You can see the two colours that become dominant in the Cebu variant when he flashes!!
