FS: Naoko's Wrasse

[Quick27]

Hey guys,

It hurts to even post this, but looking to get rid of my Naoko's wrasse. He is probably one of my favorite fish that I have had in this hobby, but has just become a little too aggressive in my tank. Awesome, bright coloration, always front and centerSuper fat and healthy, was fully QT'd and treated with prazi. About 2.5" - 3" in size. He has always been the boss in my tank but has started to chase around most of his tank mates recently. My tank is only a 40 gallon breeder and he is larger than the other fish. I think he needs to be homed in a larger tank with mostly larger fish that he won't pester such as tangs, angels, etc.

Asking $100, pickup in Santa Clarita Valley.

Picture of when I first added him to my display tank. A little larger and fatter now.

One of my favorite wrasses. It was a trooper too. 5x jumper and survived all of them.

Nice fish. Who is he being aggressive with?

 

[Quick27]

He has been going after my yellow assessor and 2 smaller flasher wrasses. I have 2 clowns in the tank as well that he has never bothered. Seems to go after the smaller, docile fish.

Clowns dish it out, they don't take getting punked

Great fish just a little aggressive on small fish

May I suggest a pair of helfrichi as a replacement

I have always like helfrichi, that may be what I go for actually. I need some peace in my tank.

Price too high? $60 OBO. Don't want to keep him cooped up in the critter cage too long.

 

[bullitr]

thats a very good price , i remember when they were $299

It's a nice fish, just concerned about it and my flame wrasse getting along

 

[Quick27]

Yea, might not be worth the risk. He definitely doesn't like the other wrasses I have..

 

[Quick27]

Let's try the other route, any interest in a yellow assessor? Very bright and funny fish to watch, always hanging around upside down in his cave. Would take $40 for him.

Also a great fish but my Dottyback probably wouldn't like it

Come get it!

I wish... I'm a reefer on a extreme budget lol. GLWS
