Thank you for the nice compliment!

Oh…I absolutely do! Lol.
In fact, I would love some suggestions of wrasses that would be peaceful with my Lubbocks and are reef safe.
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to appreciate wrasses….but I definitely want more.

Haha the addiction is real!

I'll check out your build thread to see your setup and what other fish you have and then give you some suggestions.

Bonus #WrasseWednesday of my pinkie in the frag tank. This little cutie is hard to photograph.

Looks like you’re starting to get a male

Hey there!!
Give us some ideas on your stocking in here and I’ll happily give you a ‘small’ list of species;
Be warned, I don’t do common names that often

Lubbocki’s are gorgeous, which variant do you have?

I like the ones that are purple and yellow. I also like the ones that have red and blue in them. And, of course, we cannot leave out the green, orange and fuchsia one!

Purple and yellow I could figure out quite fast - Halichoeres leucoxanthus, the others are harder haha.

What exactly is the type of wrasse you are looking for? There plenty of Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus that would go well with your Lubbocki. Which variant of the Lubbocki do you have btw?

How can you tell?

 

[Slocke]

I believe I have more wrasse then those two combined @crusso1993

 

[i cant think]

How can you tell?

The males have a grey/blue tint around their hill plate and there’s another way you can tell that I can’t quite remember right now

Interesting. Apparently males have brighter yellow stripes, too.

That was the second thing I couldn’t remember!
Yes, males do have the brighter/bolder yellow striping, if I could get a photo of my pair together then I could show the true differences between males and females.

Please do! Mine has gotten bigger (and fatter) since I got her/him, but I haven't noticed a change in coloration.

 

[i cant think]

This was my male I had, I know I use this photo a lot but it’s honestly the best one to show off the colours of a Pinkie, as you can see there’s a grey/blue tint on his gill plate and the yellow stripes are very dominant.
