I would agree. Two male Lubbocki is too much even in my larger tank. While they did not kill each other, there was a constant state of war between the two of them.

Mine didn’t have constant war, mine surprisingly coexisted better than anyone would’ve thought.
There was 2 days in 3-4 years where they truly fought and that was last month and I believe January. Other than that all I saw was displaying which is IMO natural as all wrasses even without it being the same species display.

No idea. About a week ago I didn’t see it in the morning. Haven’t seen it’s body but I have cats so it might have jumped

I wouldn’t worry too much still - I’d say wait a few weeks to see if she comes out of the sand. You may also find your other sand sleepers bullying her.

I don't see much discussion about pencil wrasses here. Why no love?

Because they’re even more difficult than tamarin wrasse. I know @i cant think has been looking for one though.

I don't think so? Last I knew he didn't have a yellow tail tamarin, and the finifenmaa was still at the LFS.

When is pink streak season again? Are we getting Jason Momoa for that?

Though that would be very cute I worry about framing both Jason and a pink streak in the same shot. Maybe we get Tom Cruise for the pink?

That finifenmaa was taken yesterday but he won’t be in my tank until Friday when I can actually watch the tank for aggression

The Argus was very nearly a steal as it is just stunning. The Madagascar I just find to be a bit bland.

Definitely, that’s one of the reasons I got him, that purple reminds me enough of the Lubbocki but not too much to make it feel like I’m replacing him.
