The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[nola90]

@nola90 did you qt them ? Also where did you get them from if you don't mind

yes QT at this moment is a 75g tank a friend set up at his house down the street.
FedEx was ~5hours later than their "guarantee time", rushed the fish over to the QT as soon as I got it in hand.

Got it from LA, which has been pretty tick poor in livestock quality coming from cali lately...MANY more DOAs and shrimps not lasting more than a week. Compared them to my last order from them before the merger, this is just ridiculous like ordering from reefs2go.

That is very sad to hear. What about the 14 day guarantee ?

Thats My Handsome Super Male Lineatus

That's a nice looking wrasse! The other is very pretty as well.

 

[mr11]

Woohoo! Sorry for the terrible pictures, excited to have this guy join the clan

 

[Greenstreet.1]

its guaranteed under 14 days so that's good... ill get my money back and I save all of the dead bodies so I can send it in if they ever need. I just personally think its kind of ridiculous how bad their quality of fish is. I have fish in QT right now and even wrasse are showing signs of ich (or so at least I hope its just ich).

Definitely a point where everyone who orders from them really does need to have a QT setup planned and ready.

Have you treated for flukes?

 

[nola90]

Have you treated for flukes?

am planning on it as I'm doing TTM on this batch right now

If using Prazipro to treat for flukes it can be done during ttm depending on other meds being used.

This guy came in as a P. lineopunctatus . As I was putting him into the acclimation box, he did a flip and ended up in the DT.

All was well for a short while, then the C. lyukyuensis/ryukyuensis found him and started giving chase. Then the H. biocellatus joined in the fun and the poor flasher was freaking out.

I managed to catch him and he's chilling in the box. He's still stressed, but I'll leave him there for a day or two - or more if need be.

thank you

 

[Paul87]

Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis breaking in the new acclimation box, as well as a new scarlet shrimp. Figured I'd toss him in there as well. He just gobbled up some garlic/selcon soaked LRS as well.

Excuse my iPhone pic. New rhomboid

Well thanks for outdoing me! Lol. Absolutely love those rhomboids!

 

[Jdmonealp]

It wasn't my first choice. I prefer the lineatus to the rhomboid, but I had also never seen one in person. Holy cow the colors are crazy

 

[Jstn]

Where did you find that rhomboid?

 

[Jdmonealp]

Modern aquatix ordered it for me. Not sure of the name of the distributor it came from. I got a "female" lineatus a few months back from the same distributor and it was really a transitional male. Beautiful pretty decent sized fish for the price of a small female. Unfortunately, my overflow ate it. I have a coast to coast style, no teeth, and beananimal. Full siphon pipe had enough suction to suck it up and it got stuck in the gate valve. I've since made a screen over each of the tubes. More more sucking fish up.

My newest additions, from zoacollector.
This is my second time ordering in from him and once again completely impressed! Wanted females to save a bit of money and they sent transitional males - awesome.
