:hammer:

I think he's doing better now. :wink:

I'll send you my conde. He's the villain that chases my attenuatus. He keeps most of my flashers on red alert.

LoL. I wish I can say the same for the Hooded. I like him a lot too. and you don't see too many of them.

Ha, how could you catch a single wrasse in your tank Brad? That would be a task.

I'd KILL for a Red Sea 8 line. My LFS had one about a year or so ago and I'm still kicking my own *** for not getting it when I saw it.

I have to say McCoskers by far, but I have only had two flashers in my time. Now I want to start a flasher tank arrhgg

how does everyone deal with putting more than one male in a tank ??? even though they are differant types dont they fight....cause i want to start adding wrasses to my tank and i'm worried about adding more than one male..... i want a pair of about 3 different types mostly fairy wrasses....i want to add them all at the same time to minimize the trouble...

there will be some squabbles but not enough to get worried about. at least that's what my wrasses do.

thanks marvin.....i'm gonna give it a try

lemme ask you guys. how long have you had your flashers?

the oldest flasher I have is the Attenuatus. I got him last March 2010. he was only about 1.5" when I got him. now, he's close to 3". he's being chased around by the Hooded fairy wrasse every so often. I think this hindered his maturity a little. when I added a few other flashers, he started flashing so much more and not being chased around by the Hooded as much since the Hooded needs to keep the other flashers in check also. my plan worked so I'm happy with that. the Attenuatus seems like he's grown and matured so much faster the past month or two. do you guys have any progression pics of your flashers? I'm very curious to see what an adult Carpenter's, McKoskers, and Filamented look like. pics I see seems like they're sub adults. those seems to be the most common ones so let's see your progression if you have them.

Thanks.

BUMP!!!

let's see some progression pics. :bigsmile:

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd share a picture of my new McCosker Wrasse I got a couple weeks ago.
