Flame Wrasse OR Lineatus Wrasse

[kdblove_99]

Want to get one or the other right now money wont allow both for the time.

Which do you think is nicer,cooler,hotter

 

[mpoletti]

Out of those two, I would choose a flame. They flash like no other.

 

[kdblove_99]

Yeah, I think the Lineatus is my fav. But the pics i have seen lately of the flame have made me second guess that.

Since i have just a little bit of cash left from the Stim check i thought i would get a pair of Flames or a Super male lineatus

 

[bradleyj]

That's a tough one. Both are stunning but the flame holds its colors better.

 

[kdblove_99]

nice pics, thank you. think you just made my decision easy. I'm loving the flame wrasse. You have a Mystery in there also, how is its aggression and does it go after your cleaner shrimp?

I love the mystery also.

How do you like your Condes's, Our LFS has had one for about a month now.

 

[bradleyj]

I have 22 wrasses in there and most have their pecking orders, but still get along. My mystery has been a grade A student.

 

[kdblove_99]

Mystery's are cool! How do you like your Condes's? What is your favorite?

 

[buzzbombtom]

lol davey you are in the same boat as me. save another two weeks and get them both. your tank can handle it.

 

[zemuron114]

flames are my favorite fish and IMO have colors that are mind blowing!

next in line is rhomboid, then lineatus (i have had some terminal male lineatus that are out of this world bright).

tough one

Yeah, Think i am going with the Flame Pair for now though. Lineatus down the road when i can afford a Super male.

man, that's tough one.. both are stunning fish... good luck and keep us posted...

 

[LargeAngels]

Only a Red tailed Supermale Lineatus comes close to a nice flame wrasse. But there is just nothing like a male flame wrasse.

Little trick that has worked out well for me as well as my pockets.

purchase 2-3 female flames....will all combine for the price of one male.

add all at the same time.......be patient.....a good several months

.....one will eventually turn into a terminal male.....probably one of the most coolest things i have seen since i began this hobby....

oh by the way........one of my females just turned into a supermale last week!

 

[buzzbombtom]

isnt it hard to get ahold of females though?

 

[DeltecRules]

My vote for the Male flame wrasse!! I have a trio of Flames and a pair of lineatus but I think the flames are my favorite especially when they flash!!

Yeah i am getting the Flames for sure! Hopefully a pair if not a Male for sure

I love the rhomboids also. And I feel a big relief now. I just added a second male rhomboid last friday and I just saw him out with the others tonight. 5 days before I saw him. I was starting to get worried, but now I feel alot better.

 

[kdblove_99]

Yeah. Nice rohm. they just dont do it for me! That Flame just stands out behind him!
Love these 3
Flame
Lineatus
Mystery

 

[gunnwong]

Is it ok to have 2 male Rhomboid in the same tank?
Have any one try this?
Thanks
