Wrasse Resort

Question about your cirolanid isopods.. I’m dealing with those now..
do they eventually all die out? I’ve probably removed 15 or so from my tank over the last few weeks. I know there’s a couple more.. my main worry is if they reproduce. In your experience, do they multiply in the tank? Or just cause a temporary nuisance to fish while they slowly get picked off or removed?

Have any of you ever kept a Beaus Fairy wrasse? If so what’ is its temperament like? Do the colors wash out over time?

Best,

Anthony

Been a while. The 75 is still going strong, no updates, still zero filtration other than water changes. The 3 wrasses ( black leopard, china, and brunneus), fox face, and angel that made it through the tank failure are still thriving. I’ll dust off the camera and get some updated pics posted soon.

Glad you're making a comeback!

My understanding is that they can survive and reproduce with and without fish in the tank, and best remedy is thinning out their population by consistently catching and removing them.

@SaltyT you should start a big wrasse tank like me and call it “Wrasse Resort to violence” ?

Mine are all small. About the size of a grain of rice. I caught 4/5 of them in a little glass flatworm catcher I got on Amazon, the rest I’ve either netted or plucked off my fish with tweezers.

First night I went “hunting” there were easily 10 swimming around… not fun.
I feel bad for my clowns, they seem to attract the most.
