Mystery Wrasse

saltypilot · Jan 27, 2019

Anyone have or know any connections for mystery wrasse? I have been looking around quite a bit and have came up empty handed. Seems they are pretty difficult to find, and everywhere I have looked online does not have them currently.
Thanks In Advanced

LiveAquaria Divers Den has them once in a while. There was one on there within the last week. But they typically don't stay long.

They are pretty regularly available. You can sign up for an email alert at a number of sites or call your LFS. They are usually available.

I just got one from my LFS. It did take them about a month to find one and it was quite a bit more than they thought it would be.
Fish is great and seems to be really smart.

No doubt one of my favorite fish.

IMO the second link fish is more colorful, deeper hues etc.

Awesome thanks, and one of the better prices I’ve seen.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, they are in the nasty Psuedocheilinus genus, along with the six line and others.... just so you're aware

Will these be OK in a 40 breeder or do they get too big and aggressive?

Do they need 4' tank?

Appreciate the heads up, have had mystery wrasse in years before, so am aware.
The smaller the tank, the more likely for aggression I would say.

Dang, jump on one of those; great prices!
One LFS said "$300 range". The other thought $60-70 but was $169 with normal pricing when it came in, but he gave me a nice discount and took a frag towards part of it too.
