male bipartitus

[EvanDeVita]

Well as for size he is quite small.. I think this is the half of their maximum size if I am not mistaken.. I fed them some frozen Artemia and mysis, he picked a piece and spit it out but when he tried to pick it again my japonicus and his reflection scared him and left the piece..

Um... I don't want to crush you but that is a Meleagaris Leopard Wrasse....
Personally, they are in my top 3 favorite leopard wrasses - they look stunning as both males and females! My LFS has a HUGE Meleagris and it, alone, was the reason I went for saltwater instead of freshwater. There isn't a huge difference in care needs.
I feed my Ornate Leopard PE mysis, and although its a little big for him (he's small) he chows it down. Its great to hear she came out (its a female) and that isn't a 'small' specimen. Mine was half your's size when I got her! Let us know what she eats!

I currently have a female melaegris, and a female bipartus(blue star). If I could get pics of them, I would post them. I can never seem to capture my fish though, without it being blurry or to far away.

Leopards are my favorite wrasse!

Agreed! Meleagaris, Ornate, and the Black leopard wrasse are my favs

yeah i've done some more research when the other guys said that she was a female meleagris..stunning indeed..she is already the queen of my tank...i thought it was small because i thought it was a male bipartitus so xD..i don't exatcly know the match with inch and cm so i might even be wrong about the bipartitus size haha...If she doesn't eat artemia and mysis(or even pellets) the next 2 days i will buy her some cyclops and i will try to get for sure more pods in there(i would buy her the calanus that was said in the previous answers but in my country we don't have that type of food..i don't know why xD)

*edit. I was just doing some online research in some shops for frozen foods and i just saw some frozen bloodworms, frozen krill and rotifers..are they even good for theese types of fishes?

I’m not sure about what they eat tbh. I made sure mine I ate mysis before I got it so I wouldn’t have this problem. I’m fortunate because my LFS literally always has leopard wrasses in stock, so I could wait a week for a new shipment if none ate mysis. I would wait for @evolved to respond- he’s kinda the master of all things wrasse-related
