The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[Obsessed]

My diamond tail loves to flash whenever I am near the tank, very cool to watch him zip back and forth.

Thank you! :tongue: Yes they were DD pair, I'm very excited to get them I was eyeing the vanuatu hooded fairy but the selection updated and I saw these beauties and had to have them hah. Thanks for the kind words, the royal flasher I bought from them looks amazing in my tank now eating regularly. I hope the rubrimarginatus pair handle shipping well, they should be here soon

 

[Newb_reefer1]

My South African lined wrasse is just a little short of 3cm but an awesome little guy but man so hard to take a pic. Quick little bugger. Please excuse the crappy mobile phone pics...

Tiniest Anampses lineatus I've seen in aquaria.

Man I don't know what it is with me and supermale rubrimarginatus but they never make it out: the one from the pair didn't survive through the night yesterday leaving his girlfriend all alone to look on the bright side the female looks amazing and is eating readily

Sorry to hear that. I was considering that one, but I picked up a rose banded fairy wrasse (initial phase) instead. Hopefully you gal will change to guy overtime

No idea of what type. Fairy of sorts I'm assuming.

A female in the cyanopleura complex, at this stage of development and with all the purple in the tank a definite id will be tough.

:mad2: so I'm done trying pink margins, all 3 I've purchased didn't make it which sucks because the pair seemed like they were doing good when they initially went into the tank I was sad to see that the male from the pair didn't survive the first night but was optimistic as the female was looking really good. Guess I was wrong, once the female found out the male died it seemed to be all downhill from there. She stopped eating and was acting very cryptic hiding deep under the rock work not coming out to swim all day. I could still see her breathing regularly and could see her eyes moving around so she was very much alive but I went to sleep and woke up the next morning to find out she too passed away in the night I am still pretty bummed out but I've got a new guy coming in Tuesday morning that should help cheer me up...

What tank mates are in with them? I'm still kinda worried about harassment from another fish. Maybe not though?
