The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

The time has come… the ticking timebomb is being removed.
I have heard from my LFS about these guys destroying clams and if you know my other addiction, it’s the fact I want to add clams to this 5’ reef.
So, I’m hoping tonight I can trap him however I have until Wednesday at the latest.
Let’s say our last few goodbyes to this gorgeous fish.

Well, this is much harder than you think. I can’t move the nets without him being terrified and if I put the trap in she’ll probably spot it straight away somehow.

Well, the Laboute’s is a very nice wrasse and one I’m hoping to own soon. My LFS has a gorgeous male and I am hoping he remains there until Monday, then I’ll be hunting for a female as they’re gorgeous when paired with a true blue appearance.

The other fish that LFS has is a stunning pair of rhomboidalis which is tempting as they came from a tank breakdown of one of the guys there.

Do they not dive into the sand or is it an inaccessible place?

He does, it’s just I have 2 pencils also in the sand and don’t know where they are now.

I may trial the trap and see if he’s a fool.

"You can't see me!"

The amount I regret this Jade is insane… this is what happens when you get a pretty juvenile fish and love it to the point you give it too many chances. This guy is not leaving this tank easily.

That eel is awesome looking. I wanted to look at pictures of them, but I can’t find much info searching for ostrich eel. Is there a different name I should look for?

And I laughed out loud at that birdy hauling wrasse across the tank lol

That’s because it’s not an ostrich eel. I called it that because of what it was doing in the video
It’s a goldspotted snake eel or myrichthys occelatus. I recently lost my other one Myrichthys colubrinus because I left a hole in the lid.

Hahaha! I completely missed that, but a beautiful creature without a doubt!

So is there a birth month Wrasse? If so what's the wrasse for June? There are stones, flowers, all that jazz, so why not a wrasse lol. Trying to distract wifey while the contractions are hitting...

They only had about 10 left...

That’s the best fish for $40 that I have seen in a long time

Chaoti 2.0 still doing well

On another note I nuked the tank with fluconazole again. Not a speck of algae

Should I be at all worried that she's just out exploring and not going straight to the sand?

Not at all. Especially if it was acclimated at the lfs. My choati never hid.

Yeah, they put everything through a 3 week quarantine and observation according to the guy on the floor talking to another customer. They asked about a Lawnmower and he said he had some in the back but they've only been through 2 weeks of QT and to come back next week after they're finished.

A scared fish or a stressed fish will hide. Yours seems to be neither

Nice Choat. I’ve got two, separate tanks. Favorite fish. Where’d you get yours and how’d you acclimation go?
