New Wrasses - Finally they are here

Wait until you see the lienatus in the morning... He will be really bright orange... Until the lights come on, or at least my guys does...

Awesome, can't wait for these guys to get out in the open and swimming around more.
 
I have some decent pics, here is a decent one:

Never thought I'd have so much money in fish in my tank at once, but then again, I've always been a fish guy as much as a coral guy.
 
haha, disregard the cleaner shrimp caucus stuck to the Vortech in the background. I was trying to get a quick pic to compare it to when I first got them.

haha yeah, he was. Cleaner shrimps usually do great for me. In fact, both of my cleaners in my display tank are carrying a belly full of bright green eggs right now.
 
Nice. Is this the first time they have done this or not? I can't say that mine have ever done such a thing.

Yeah. I had a single one in my tank, and then got a pair from my buddy (same guy I got these fish from). I opted to put the single one into the frag tank, and then put the new pair together in the display. They are very active cleaners, and I'm excited to see when they lay those eggs. I'm sure my corals and fish will appreciate the free food, haha.
 
Well, the wrasses are doing good this morning, swimming around and not hiding as much. The trigger is still trying to show off a little, but this time to the Lineatus. He's probably more intimidated by him since the Lineatus is close to the size of the trigger.

I'm getting curious to see if they'll eat pellets.
 
Even if they don't at first, they will in time. All of my fish love New Life spectrum pellets, baby size.
 
I just fed then some pellets, and the flame wrasse went right after it. The Lineatus was definitely thinking about it, as it was chasing them, but not sure if he ate any. I think the rhomboid went after some as well.
 
So I placed an order tonight for 3 new wrasses from Divers Den. I got a gorgeous Labouti, and small male McCoskers, and small male Filamented Flasher wrasse.

Also this week, I'm supposed to be getting my female flame wrasse. Time to get some other fish out before these guys arrive :) I"m super excited. The Labouti they had on there was awesome, more yellowish in color than the purple.

totally an addict now. j/k man. looking forward to seeing some pics when you get 'em. :)
 
Oh yeah, addicted for sure. I popped on Divers Den, and its like my fingers immediately went to "add to cart". haha. I contemplated it at first, but with $140 in credit with them, it paid for over half the order, so I couldn't talk my self out of it. Plus, the McCoskers and Filamented wrasse were very small. The McCoskers was only 1.5 inches or something.

The free shipping pushed me to add the third, as it was basically free, since it was either pay 39.99 for shipping, or pay 39.99 for the wrasse, and push me over the 225 mark :) Can't argue with that decision.
 
Thats my dream a Rhomboid and Flame, I have wanted a Rhomboid ever since i saw revs avatar.
