Eggcrate with a rock on it so if they hit it, they won't knock it off. For small wrasses you can glue bridal veil to the eggcrate. Inexpensive and I haven't seen any difference in light.

This is still one of the best threads for identiification and a general discussion of a fish genera that has ever appeared on RC. Several quick questions:
Has Dr. Tanaka's book ever been published and if not any idea when it will be?
Who are good sources for rare wrasses, ie. C. earlei, C. johnsoni, C. marjori etc, as I have not seen them anywhere for the past year?
Has Brian from Twilight Aquatics resurfaced anywhere? Thanks!

 

[snorvich]

Brian has not, to my knowledge, resurfaced. He sold the first two but I do not think he sold C. marjori. It was sold by LA at least once.
Bronco has C. johnsoni. I have C. earlei and C. johnsoni. I think Dr. Tanaka has all three.

 

[crlmn11]

Thanks Steve,
Do have any idea where I could get the earlei or johnsoni now?

 

[snorvich]

I have never seen C. earlei for sale except from Brian. I have rarely seen C. johnsoni for sale but I do not recall from whom. I have seen C. marjori for sale from LA and just rarefish.

I forwarded your question to Dr. Tanaka and here is his response:

Many thanks for your interest.

It is still in preparation; several new spp. are waiting to be described! Now the CD English version includes 1200 photos (too many).

All The Best, Hiroyuki

 

[crlmn11]

Thanks Ninong and Dr. Tanaka. I really look forward to seeing it. It would be nice though if we could get some of these rare beauties. Oh well another thing I am not spending my money on. Thanks again,
Mike
