Flasher Wrasse Trios

[princer7]

Is there a shop online where I can order trios of flasher wrasse? I have seen mostly males being sold individually.

The females rarely make it to market because they're not as colorful.

i very very rarely see females..sometimes LA has them in and in fact the have a female right now..they say carpenters but alot of the flasher females look alike

If I were to order juvenile or small flasher wrasse, would one of the group turn into a super male and the remainder stay as female.

Funny timing on this thread. Some friends and I were just commenting on the crazy $170 price tag for a trio (1m/2F) of McCoskers at a LFS...but maybe the rarity of the females is a big deal.....

 

[wrasseguy2]

wow that is alot for a trio..my lfs has been able to get females here of late but they are nowhere near that price for a trio..i was quoted a price of $70 for a trio of Mcoskers the other day..
Princer i think it takes alot to have one turn into a supermale..but a group of juv. will work things out and the more dominat one will become a male and the others should stay as females

Yeah, no kidding. Though $70 is excessively cheap IMO. :eek2:

 

[Eklikewhoa]

WoW, I would pay either prices for the trio of McCoskers!

 

[wrasseguy2]

well that is not the price everyone would get at the store..that is my price..but i saw a male Mcosker there the other day at $30...that is what i see them run there most times

Hmmm, I tend to talk retail prices on here, for the sake of *most* people that tend to read these kinds of threads

Very good prices. The females are normally less although rarely collected. I do see them on LA divers den with reasonable frequency. I LOVE flashers even more than fairies.

going terminal in tank will not happen fyi. 70$ seems pretty spot on for retail price, here in nor cal its about 30-40 for a male....
