green wrasse opinions

[Megatrev62]

I have had one in the past and found it a hardy fish. Never bothered anything and was quite active. I had to sell it after about a year when I had to sell my tank. Was thinking of getting another and was wondering if there are any negatives that I'm not aware of. Green wrasse keepers please speak up. Thanks

Do you mean Halichoeres chloropterus?

 

[Megatrev62]

Yes that is it.

I like them but have not tried one specifically, I went with the yellows because they are brighter and basically have the same habits. I dont think you have much to worry about with larger inverts like crabs and shrimp until they get quite large. But should be a great hunter for many pests. Good luck

Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to get one..

Yes that is it.

In that case, you should know they don't stay bright green forever. Once mature it'll drab out and could even be a bit gray-ish.

Didn't know that. How long will it take for them to mature?
