Choati wrasse

[el richie]

Just came up on a choati wrasse from my "la guy connection" the question is would he be ok with a potters and a black leopard already in the tank?? Will post pics when he's out of the bag. Food wise he won't be competing with the other wrasses because the potters eats flakes pellets and any frozen food, the black leopard only eats musts and reef caviar

what size tank?

Feed her hikari mysis, and if that doesn't work, use PE mysis, they love them. Good luck with her, they are hard to keep alive. And they don't fare well with alk swings.

Well you saw what we were able to do at PK in San Diego mixing leopards. If there is trouble have your order of importance down so you can try to get one you like the least out. If its eating and about the same size or bigger I would think you'd be ok, an open top tank begs for problems. Is it covered or can it be temporarily covered?

That cube was what got me hooked on the leopards. I actually bought my first leopard from them and it was doing great until she decided to go for a walk outside, after that I use eggcrate as a lid

I hate to hear about a jumper. My radiant wrasse has done the same once, but we caught it, picked it up and threw it in. Let me know if you have trouble feeding it, I'll see what I can do about hooking it up with some Rogger's food, I've got a bunch at the house.

Best of luck with him richie, one of my favorites of all time. 80 bucks is an awesome price too.

Yeah he's always given me good deals on fish

I hope you have a top cover!!!!
It would be a shame to lose her.

Very cool fish... would love to have one!

After the first jumper I added an eggcrate lid

How is your Choati doing? Any updates? I will be getting one as well within the month hopefully.

I have 3 other leopards as well, a meleagris, potters, and black like yours so hopefully they all get along. Mine all eat prepared foods and have had 2 of the 3 for a year or more. I'm hoping the new Choati will take to eating after seeing the other three.
