Much thanks for your expertise. My pair from Vanuatu are quite nice and doing very well. I like the ones from Holmes Reef equally well. Perhaps I will have to place them into a different tank. I will await your paper on the subject species. It is not completely obvious to me, even ignoring the coloration differences, that they are the same species. Do you feel the body shape is identical?
 
snorvich,

Thanks for your comment and I hope you can observe and photograph them with great success also from now.

>Do you feel the body shape is identical?

Now we are measuring several spcimens to compare them with the Holmes specimens. Difference of proportion is also a siginificant factor.
 
Finally got a replacement, hopefully this one will stay in the tank :)

First pic normal, second Flashing :)

heuerfan,

Nice pictures! I enjoy your fish' colors and if you use the Adbe Photoshop the pics should be better. I hope you can observe it in a gorgeous colors for a long time.
 
Thanks Tanaka, i'm going to do everything i can to keep him happy and healthy. Will look into Adobe Photoshop :)

Your photo

heuerfan, your "new" photo is here arranged by using Adbe Photoshop. You need some technique to do but it is very useful when you are accustomed to it. Do not add any new line, marking, or change colors of the fish (except background) intentionally.

Your fish pics are great !

Sorry if the question doesn't belong here but i'll ask it anyways. Anyone have any luck keeping a mystery wrasse with cleaner shrimp. Very tempted to pick up one of these beauts, but I love my shrimp too much to risk them. Any thoughts on this wrasse? Keeping them with shrimp? Thanks! :p
 
with an established BIG shrimp you will be fine. The shrimp will hide when it molts so the mystery can't pick at it. Get a very small mystery and you should be OK for a long time if not the whole time.

WOW thanks Tanaka! Incredible how much the colors pop out by changing the background.

I am honored by your comment, would you like to use this picture in one of your books? :D

Now i really have to figure out how to use Adobe Photoshop :)
 
heuerfan,

Yes, if you are OK I hope to use yours in my CD or book version in the future. I hope you to get more and the better shots, and many thanks for your kind help!

Beautiful, make sure you get a female if you can or else the colors will fade......... like mine did.......

Good luck,
Steven
 
Nice picture and I always be at a loss if it is a true temminckii whenever I see such a photo. This specimen has a black spot at pectoral- fin base, but the true temminckii there is only a faint one or it is completely missing. Some may call it the variant Katherine's Fairy Wrasse; a questionable individual.
 
H.Tanaka- having a problem with my male flame wrasse i just received. The person i bought it from had it in their tank for about 3 days and it was eating mysis when i picked it up. The male is about 4" and the salinity was 1.020. I acclimated the flame slow drip overnight until the salinity was 1.025. Next day when i got home i fed the tank mysis shrimp and the male came out to eat and quickly went back to hide. I also have a 3.5" female flame wrasse that is a new addition also but she is eatting and swimming around. Today will be the third day the male flame has been in my tank. Yesterday and today it does not come out for food. It just hides in the live rock, moving from one hiding space to the other. No signs of damage to body and no fast breathing at all, looks like it is just resting. Only other inhabitants are Lineatus, Mccosker, Laboutei and female flame wrasse.

Do you think this fish is going to be okay, or is this a bad sign?

Thanks,
Steven
 
Here are two more shots of my Lineatus, tried using Adobe but it is only a trial version. Couldn't change the entire background to black. What do you think?

heuerfan,

I do not think that it is a bad sign, but you need more careful observation on them for a while, at least two to three days.

I am sorry; I cannot see the new pics there.
