Anthias need to be kept in groups. No dating sites.

Have a wrasse question for you @Crabby48

Crabby48 · Jan 20, 2023

The chart is for fairy wrasse. What you looking to know

crusso1993 · Jan 20, 2023

@Nate Chalk - meet @Crabby48 (Don). Some people think he is a wrassehole but not me! I think he’s wrassetastic! Seriously though, Don is an all-around good dude and a great resource to know. If it weren’t true then I wouldn’t have his number in my phone.

First read your name as Psychedelic Furs and thought, “Oh, I’m going to like this guy!” No worries, though, as I like all-things psychedelic. I see we’re kind of neighbors!

Maybe it’s me, or the psychedelics, but did you change your original post?

Any red flags I'm trying to understand more on wrasse. Tangs have been easier with body style.

Crabby48 · Jan 20, 2023

That’s an ok list. Timor are more fragile to keep in captivity. Make sure it’s eating and healthy before spending money. same with Melagris but hardy for a leopard. Best to get one that been held in captivity for awhile. The lineatus can be jerks but you got a big tank. Beat to add at once or groups as that will spread any initial bullying. Add yellow and Melagris first.
Your wrasse list requires sand except lineatus. Not sure if you like bare bottoms
