Timor Wrasse is out!

[Frtdrmrose7]

nothing really going on just happy my new Timor Wrasse finally decided to come out of the sand after 3 days and is eating well in QT. Time to start the copper!

Pretty fish!

finally decided to come out of the sand after 3 days

Don't you hate that? lol... The first few days of a sand wrasse hiding are nerve-wracking. You always wonder is he gonna come out, or did he take a dirt nap in the sand?!

I've been lucky, and I'm glad you have been too.

Yeah it drives me crazy, every day that passes increases the urge to run your finger through the sand to check on him.

Which would probably make him hide for another day or two. It's a vicious cycle LOL!

My bottom glass is clear, so I would go in the sump with a flashlight and hunt to make sure he was still in there. If he was positioned right, I could see him breathing... then I would feel much better [emoji23]

That's great, the longest i have dealt with was 8 days for a leopard. I have two earmuffs coming this Saturday, we'll see if they can break the record!

I have a 3" Timor, I didn't see her for three days when I first put her in QT. She still gets a little spooky and buries herself if I put my hand in the DT for any more than about 10 seconds

Overall, she's active, peaceful (even with inverts), very healthy, great personality, and acts as a vacuum cleaner in my tank. Every bit of food is never missed by her.

She handled 30 days copper no problem

Cool looking wrasse! Don't see them too often.

I only run wrasses through 14 days of copper then I do TTM.

I know that’s why I couldn’t say no especially with a hefty discount from the LFS
