4 feminus wrasse.

[Callum96]

Well, there's a very strong possibility of me picking up four feminus wrasse next Sunday (maybe even a male). Just looking for peoples experiences really and for everyone that's had one that hasn't made it, why? I know people are having more and more success these days and they aren't really considered best left in the ocean anymore but it's still a tricky fish.
I've kept most anampses wrasse in the past so that should have me well prepared but these will be my first feminus.

any tips or advice?

I wouldn't suggest multiples unless your tank is massive. Very few wrasse get on with conspecifics long term and with such a delicate species I wouldn't want any fighting.

Food. Needs to be fed often; a well established tank helps a lot!

I kept one just fine for 2 years, until I moved and introduced it to a new setup without near the established food supply as it had before.

I have had a female since January 2015. Getting her eating wasn't easy, but once she started, she has been a great addition to the tank. We feed four or five times a day with a mix of frozen foods. She is a very bold eater. In addition, I have tons of pods in the sand which she munches on all day long.
