Yes he's been eating frozen mysis , but I also have a good population of copepods in my tank .. the only thing he's nipped at so far is my feather duster , which he went for as soon as I put him in, my clown fish aren't bothered by him either and apart from them I only have a spotted dragonet ,.. so so far so good!!!!! What an absolutely beautiful fish..!!!

No I wasn't planning on any tangs in my tank , I am considering 4-5 green chromis , a goby and shrimp and possibly a blenny of some sort

I'm not sure about wrasses .... I have an open top tank ., not sure I want too have too close it up

 

[Paul B]

I have 6 or 7 wrasses and have been in an open tank for many years, no problem. I did have a copperband jump out twice though.

what kind of wrasses do you have ? Or can recommend

Hi Jason. Nice CBB. I have an open top with a peacock wrasse. Really slow moving and tends to stay near the bottom around the rock. I love that fish. I also have a 6 line pyjama wrasse

I got blue ones, black ones, yellow ones, Christmas tree looking ones, striped ones, polka dotted ones and 4 or 5 that I have no idea what they are.

I recommend all of them. I think the yellow ones are spawning but they are the only paired wrasses I have
