    Texas Pintail Crescent Tail Hybrid Wrasse

    I have a rare Cirrhilabrus hybrid, a pintail/crescent tail wrasse. It was initially a female, but when my male flasher wrasse decided to carpet surf, the hybrid started to change to male. Currently it's still a juvenile male, but I expect him to develop fully with some time or some female...

    Some interesting fish from Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands

    The Cook Islands are about half-way between Hawaii, and Australia. The largest island, Rarotonga, is surrounded by a barrier reef, so the island is circled by a protected lagoon. This first immersion video displays some of the beauty of the sea life found in the lagoon.

    Melanurus wrasse attacking new clown tang

    Most of the research I've done says that generally Melanurus are generally peaceful. Well mine is a jerk. I just put the clown tang in yesterday and don't want to take him back out unless I have to. Is there a way to curb this aggression so that they can eventually get along? The next thing I'm...

    Feeding flasher wrasse

    I have a Carpenter Flasher Wrasse in QT right now. He's eating LRS great right now. I've heard they need to be fed several times a day, which I'm doing right now but Later this year I won't be home to feed multiple times a day. If I have a healthy pod population do I need to feed multiple times...

    New Video Amazing Transformations, Caribbean Edition

    As aquarium keepers, we often only get to see one phase of a fishes lifespan, and some not at all, because of size. One thing that struck me when I first went out on the reefs was the various phases of fishes, from the juveniles through various sexes and adult fish that I had never seen before...

    One of a kind video of a dancing wrasse

    Anyone ever see a wrasse do this? It must be some kind of mating ritual, but there were no females around, except my wife Fran, who shot this guy, she called "Wet Willie", in action. We're guessing this is a circle-cheek wrasse, anyone know for sure? This was shot in Rarotonga in the Cook...

    Cirrhilabrus Complexes: Inferiority Need Not Apply (1st Revision)
