The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

The one I was looking at and liked was the ornate.

I haven’t seen the ornatissimus in a long time as I believe they were mainly exported from Hawaii. I know they have another place of origin from the Marquesas and Christmas Islands but I don’t believe they’re exported much from those Islands.

These 2 are out of my price range right now, and I don't have the space... @fishface NJ

However....

They had a tiny baby!!!!

That is a small one. Almost as small as mine when I got her.

 

[OrchidMiss]

She's maybe 1.5 inches at the most.

 

[OrionN]

Mine were also tiny, a little smaller than your. They were so small they cannot eat a whole small mysis. I have to chop the mysis to 1/3 and remove the head before I feed them. Tedious. I were just around 1+ inch. They grew fast however.

I would love a female rhomboidalis but dang, I’ve yet to see a true female.
After having a female flasher I just love their size difference compared to the males.

My current melagris was a mere 1" when I got her. As @OrionN mentioned, I had to cut the mysis up smaller, and she loved calanus.

Those are good prices on those rhomboids!

I can’t tell if it’s just the angle of the photo or something, but that male looks super small and impressive development for his size.

There is a debate on what type of wrasse this is

Sorry I couldn’t help myself

I’d say it’s one of the Pseudojuloides

Any of you know about Bodanius sepiacaudus? Looks on the smalle side of hogfish, no? Local has one. Unfortunately says it picks on his smaller wrasses and only smaller wrasses.

I’m a bit addicted but how could you pass this guy up?!

Guess the species…

also in terms of size, he is the same size as the female flasher!

Plectranthias Inermis?

I’ve been mulling with the idea of getting one for a bit now.

My fat torpedo of a McCosker’s has been really enjoying the lighting upgrade

Maybe I’ll do another wrasse when I get the new tank….since it will have a lid
