8 line flasher wrasse

[aquaph8]

Thanks guys, I think he'll be fine after some R and R. These fish are giving me a ton of anxiety lately.

Hes alive this time, which is a big +++. He looks well but I havent turned the lights on yet. So far he's still recovering and just kinda hanging out. Time will tell I guess, I'll keep you guys posted.

Thats great to hear! please share some photos when hes settled in. You might have gotten the only live male. good luck bud

 

[aquaph8]

Havent posted much on RC but I have been following along on this thread because I also ordered a pair of rs8 lines. My male also arrived doa but my female is doing good. I recieved an instock email from LA today saying males 8lines where in stock $89.99. Makes me feel like I may have jumped the gun. So for everyone who lost a 260.00 male male it would be a great chance to get another. I just thought I would share.

We ordered a male/female pair, but ended up with two males - one DOA. Here's a pic of our survivor:

Not the best pic, but I didn't want to stress him unnecessarily.

Nice, thanks for the information. I ordered a male from LiveAquaria for $89.99. Incredible.

Hope everybody jumps on this and can get a replacement for a third of the price.

Nice Terry, definitely a male that you have there and he looks great.

LA did some ninja style posting of that fish this morning. A friend and I were lucky enough to catch it first thing

Nice. They didn't even put the "New Item" around it or anything, haha.

I'm excited I was able to order one as such a cheaper price. I requested a Friday (next Friday) delivery as I ordered a few other fish as well.

Ours aren't even going to be here until Wed.

Yeah, the holiday would push it til then which is why I didn't see an issue with them holding an extra day or two. Make sure to post us updates

 

[SDguy]

I sure will. This was one of the few flashers that I like, so I decided to grab it. I spoke to Kevin about some coming in along with some paucifasciatus butterflies. I wonder if this means they came in as well :eek2:

That's awesome. I snag one too. I had to double check just to be sure that was the right one at $90

Exactly what I did....as I assumed it was the Eightline wrasse closely related to the 4 line (Pseudocheilinus octotaenia)

Just thought I'd share some pics of my girl in QT as I finally got some decent shots:

And my favorite:

 

[SDguy]

I love the radiating stripes from the eyes.

 

[minhvu]

That's a pretty little girl. Glad she's doing good for u

 

[jt_milstead]

Fingers crossed!!

 

[btkrausen]

Want to get your thoughts on pairing up the two. I have the male coming next week and he'll be going into the QT. Do you think it's best to keep the female in the QT when I introduce him or should I move her to the DT by then?

LA says that the female should be introduced first or both together, so I'm good in that aspect.

Thoughts?

 

[SDguy]

I would QT both together, no?
