All my wrasse buddies, 3rd times a charm

[Aquaph8]

Send me some good vibes this time. paracheilinus attenuatus attempt #3 is in full effect. This is the last one I will attempt so I hope it goes well. The other two I had were spooked from day one and were never able to be around any other fish and feel comfortable. They ate alright but just hid and stayed real close to the base of the rocks. One passed in the display and one never made it there. The new guy is the smallest yet and the bravest. Hes in my QT with a pair of Venustus angels and a female eightline flasher that easily twice his size. It still puzzles me how a wrasse this tiny becomes male in the ocean.

He just came in today so pics will have to come later, wish me luck this time cause im out of money, haha.

Good luck with the new guy Brett. Hope he settles in well and becomes used to tank life in your care.

One venustus I've had for a while and he's doing great, eats pellets and is slowly learning to eat frozen. The other was just introduced to the QT this morning with the Attenuatus. He came in with popeye so I'm hoping for the best with that.

Karma for you Brett! It took my 3rd time to be the charm, so hoping same for you! Mine is the boss of the smaller Wrasses (those 3" or less). Always out in the open, and a very aggressive eater.

 

[Aquaph8]

Thanks for the karma guys!

Update: had a little setback but thanks to hypo we are back on track and all three fish in the QT are doing good and eating well.
