[Jstn]

So my rhomboids are in my aclimation box eating and looking healthy, made a quick video of my other fish (wrasse) swimming.

The Lubbock's seems to have vanished on me. Probably from harassment from the red fin that has since been returned. All the others are doing great! Here is a video I took today during feeding. You can see the Potter's leopard go to town on cyclops and LRS.

I don't know why that is but they always get picked on

He was a pretty one too. Didn't have any of the black "line-dots" I see on most, unless those show up later.

They are very beautiful but get picked on a lot. They always come on my list but I don't want to loose it if I put one in the wrasse tank.

That is a Bali variant. The lines are on the Cebu variants.

I have found them to be one of the hardier fairy wrasses when they come in.

@Paul87 ... check out my post on the previous page. I have the Cebu and the purple lines are not as bold as it grew larger. It's about 3-31/2" now, but it's dwarfed by some of those others

Thanks. Didn't realize there was different variants.

I picked up my Red Tail Tamarin wrasses just a little over a week ago and they are eating everything (mysis, Byrne and flake). I'm hoping that by picking one out 1/4" bigger in hopes she will turn male.

Can someone tell me what food is LRS and where to purchase it?

What type and size sand do you guys with burrowing wrasses use?

 

[Greenstreet.1]

I use Fiji pink in my 75 my wrasse tank is filled with fairies so it's bare bottom with sand in three containers for the leopards I plan on adding.

I have figi pink as well. No complaints. Wrasses can dive right in it and its not the sugar sized super fine stuff that can really blow around sometimes.

Beautiful!

Picked up this little dude today. Eating LRS at the store, and ate some for me today.

I didnt leave him in the social acclimation box all day today. There was literally no bad reactions or behavior at all with him/her? Here is a little video after being added to the DT.
