Shoot almost forgot the blue mandarin .. no pics but he has been with me for 6 mos (came from a teardown where he was a 5 yr resident) wild caught but takes pellets, flakes, cyclopeeze and the various natural fauna from the tank.

Totally jealous! Great looking fish.

Thanks for the compliments ... The candy basslet has grown quite a bit since those pics were taken had him just about a year now think that he is triple that size (need to take some new photos)

One of my favourite fish! Femininus Wrasse are awesome. Had 2 before but both passed on from not eating. I purchased direct from the supplier though. Would definitely jump at the opportunity again.

Love them all. What temp do you keep the tank at? I've always wanted a candy basslet but was concerned I couldn't keep the tank temp low enough.

Femininus Wrasse is eating like a champ ... taking pellets no problem (though ignoring cyclopeeze and PEmysis??) still very new so time will tell. Got her direct from QM.

I run the tank in a range from 76.5-77.5 in the winter and 77.5-78.5 in the summer, using an Apex to regulate. So definitely a little on the cooler side.

Its good to know you've keep the candy basslet for so long at those temps. That's right where I keep my tank. I think I'll start looking for one!

There's one up on DD right now (where I got mine). I've actually come to really love that fish he was shy for the first month or so but once he figured out that no one was going to bother him started cruising the tank like crazy. Spends 80% of his time in full view now
