C. Earlei - Growth in 5 Months

[Tactics]

Thought I'd share some pics of my male C. Earlei.

I received him with a female 4 months ago. He was about 2.5" long and now is around 3.5" long.

This morning, he was angry at something and displayed some very deep colors and flared fins. The red is just so rich.

Not the best pictures but best I could work with in the short time I had.

First arrival:

Current condition:

Very peaceful fish.

My pair have gotten quite used to people - even eating flakes and pellets from my hand.

Awesome fish! mine is not aggressive at all, the stupid 8line gives him trouble from time to time though. Very good choice in fish if you want to shell out a few dollars

Yes, eight lines are the only aggressive flasher wrasse, in my opinion. Fairy wrasses, different issue, however.

So, how does one tell if a fish turns "terminal?"

 

[Katis]

Very nice change and great colors. Congrats on having a great fish.

 

[savemyreef]

Great colors, may I ask what they are eating?

When it stops changing. :spin2:

Tactics, very nice progress and thanks for sharing. Makes the decision for us fence sitters easier knowing the small ones can nicely and rapidly.
