Sounds like we will all just have to come over and see them in person! LOL Awesome, good luck on the pics!

Come on Ryan, you know where I am. We could start a reef tank tour.

I've been a wrasse man a long time Chris.

True! Instead of pub crawling we can go reef tank touring!

bknapp · Dec 21, 2012

Sounds good to me!

Small fish update, I've added two permanent residents to the tank in the past few weeks. A small "Christmas Wrasse" and a "Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse", just wish I could get a good picture of these two fish as they are quickly becoming favorites of mine.

Were you got your xmass wrasse and can you post or send me a picture of it

Luis, I got my Christmas Wrasse from the Critter, here is probably the best picture I have of it (crappy phone pic) and you can't see the two spots on the top fin, its a beautiful fish.

From what I have read the Christmas wrasse is harder to get and does not ship very well. One with two spots (like mine) is a female.

Added my flasher wrasse on 12-21 and I found him dead this morning. He seemed to be doing fine had good coloration until Sunday. He turned a milky white color and was no where near as active or eating like he was before.

All other inhabitants seem fine, good color, eating and active.

Ahhh that sucks man. Sorry

bknapp · Jan 1, 2013

Thanks Stretch, was probably my favorite fish... I need talking out of a leopard wrasse...

Sounds like a possible internal parasite???

Leopard wrasses are tough man...just saying.

Still have the LED's BTW.

-Could it possibly spread to other fish?
-I know they are, but they are stunnning.
-Cool, as soon as funds allow.... (Sorry for the hold up)

i had a carpenter flasher do the same B. he was eating at store and first day then a few days later was all lethargic and died.

bknapp · Jan 1, 2013

Yea, it just sucks. Chris saw him at the store before I even brought him home, he was stunning.

Learned that lesson...

bknapp · Jan 1, 2013

I understand the benefits of a quality QT set up and if I had more space a QT wouldn't be a question. I hope once I move in a few months I will have more room for a QT set up, even if its just a small tank in a closet or something.
