The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

lol im going to assume maybe the delicate leopard wrasse should not be the first fish i try lol and seriously those fish you posted are absolutely stunning

Nah they're as good as any. My success with them probably isn't attributable to holding them in my hand but it was present haha

No, I have pushed for that and eventually got through to quality marine. They said that they don't have sand anywhere in the building to use. Frustrating. But I don't know of any vendor that ships them with sand. People mention it but I haven't located one.

Awesome shots Marquiseo

Steven: lineatus, scottorum, lubbocki, jordani


Shipping with sand had been debated in the past, and most arguments land on it being best to ship without. Bear in mind sand in a bag only settles at the bottom when things are still; the rest of time in transient that sand is somewhat of a snow-globe...

Ahh yea i can see where that is a problem i know best i could do is to add them straight to the dt but i think im going to keep them in Qt for 2 weeks and see if i can get them to come out and eat and see if there healthy just cause there my first ones and also the fact that i have the 14 day guarantee from live aquaria i think it would be best to keep them in a place i can monitor them closely and see if they are having any issues cause i feel like if they die in a couple of days i will never find them again in my tank

Sound logic.

 

[Aquaph8]

What do you guys think about roseafascia with a group of other wrasses? Too aggressive or worth a shot?

 

[evolved]

Too aggressive eventually. And BIG eventually; did you see the one Greene collected a few weeks ago with Rocha? Probably close to 12" TL.

 

[Aquaph8]

I didn't see it, I knew they got big but not that big. I was thinking 6-8", 12" is huge!

 

[Steven C]

Sound logic.

Lol thanks but im going to be doing this soon
