For those who ordered the male crosshatches. What were your sizes?

all male crosshatches were between 9-11"

Just out of curiosity, did anyone get a mystery wrasse and post a pic. I want to see if it's the same as the ones I have seen. Thanks.

Wow. Didnt know the Crosshatches were that huge to start with. Do they make a huge mess while eating? I guess I will need to upgrade my skimmer and tank size if I do get one.

Kenny,
I don't think the mystery wrasse is coming from Hawaii. I believe he has sources where he gets from other areas. I wanted to order a couple lineatus and Labouti's and he told me that his Australia will be in around early Sept.

I would like to know how the goldflake is doing. I was one day to late in my call and I think it went to someone in this buy, which is why I held off on ordering some other stuff.

I was actually in Hawaii a week or so ago and was going to meet him in Honolulu to hand carry home. FYI- wouldn't have worked anyway with Hawaiian Airlines. They won't allow it.

Bebo77,
did everyone pick up or is there leftovers. Please LMK

Thanks Rik. That's why I asked. I didn't think the mystery wrasse came from the Hawaiian waters.

 

[Bebo77]

its very rare to find a male that is less than 9" and yes they all grow to be about 12"

I got one of the Mystery Wrasses from the group buy and so far it is doing great! I'll try to post some pictures later tonight!

mysterry wrasses are hardy and beautiful fishes. i hope you don't have any shrimp in your tank. they'll be an expensive meal if you do.

Not nearly as expensive as a mystery wrasse, and at the price he got it for, he could afford to feed it live shrimp for a year vs. buying one at an lfs. haha

Here are a few pics of my Mystery Wrasse. This is my first time posting pics so hopefully this works!!

Gabe,

Did these fish come from the guy that runs hawaiianreefer.com? If so and you have his number, please give it to me. There are some major security issues with his site, that I feel obligated to help him resolve.

Thanks,

Shane

slavearm,
Pm'ed you his number

 

[slavearm]

Thanks,

I will drop him a line later.

FYI: I am plannig on placing another order with Alex probably within a month or so. I'd like to get a few more people together to help take care of the shipping costs. This is something that would require you to meet me at LAX early the morning of arrival. I'm waiting on a specific fish to come in so that might add to the complexity. I'll probably post another thread when I am ready to order, or PM if you're interested in something specific as well and want to save on shipping.

 

[slavearm]

I doubt I would be able to meet at LAX (maybe... though), but I am looking for 1 male and 1-2 female flame wrasses.

So count me in.

 

[®eefer]

Meeting me off the freeway on my way back home would also be an option. LAX to San Clemente.

 

[pookstreet]

RDecker, that's a beautiful fish. I would love to have one of those.
