I'm at work so I don't have access to my pictures. They are, however, one of my favorite reef fish. Beautiful as juveniles/females, still very nice looking as males, and a near perfect reef fish imo!

I had a meleagris in with my black leopard but my black leopard decided one day that she hated her and killed her. In the past I've kept M. kuiteri, M. bipartitus and M. ornatus. My holy grail is M. choati but I'm too nervous to try one.

I would love a M. kuiteri...

how many of you have kept a blur start with an oratus?

 

[SaltyT]

I haven’t personally kept bipartitus and ornatus together, but I’ve seen others do it successfully. I don’t think you’ll have a problem, especially in a tank of your size.

I kept a meleagris for almost 10 years, she was my favorite. Can't wait to find another. Unfortunately that was years ago and I don't have any good pics. Here's the only one I have

 

[zukihara]

I have two ornates that are just getting super fat. Tank too blue for good pics

 

[JCM]

Anyone here keeping M. Chaoti?

 

[SaltyT]

My first leopard. She started my wrasse obsession.

[homer1475]

OOh I can play! Love my leopards. I currently have 3, and would love to add a chaoti(my holy grail leopard!). My LFS is on the lookout for one.

Not the best pics, but they work.

M. Negrosensis

M. Melagris

M. Moyeri

The moyers is a new addition, and my melagris is not liking her so far.
