Wrasse junkie
Hey guys, I have been down in the dumps lately with the loss of some great fish. So I decided to take a few shots of what I DO have:-) I hope you guys enjoy. Some are reposted in different threads, some arent but I figured Id add a few shots just for the heck of it.

Wow, I wish my stress was that productive. I usually just eat or drink something bad for me and go shopping online. ;)

Seriously though, sorry to hear about your losses. :( The survivors look good, though.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words I love my fish:-)...I lost a johnsoni and a lunate wrasse...both difficult to come by fish
 
Great fish, I am jealous of the wrasses you have. I will get my collection started soon enough though. I have a newer lfs that I haven't checked out and have been talking with them. They sponsor my reef club and he has been posting about some harder to find fish, which is the direction he is going. He actually just got a couple of rhomboid fairies, $150 each! You should come live here lol! Sorry for your losses, hopefully you can find some replacements!
 
thats a good price for goldens...I lost the lunate from an amature mistake... I hadent fully decided to QT them and put them in a Acclimation box instead.. well I was up all night worrying about them and didnt sleep..needless to say I fell asleep and 1 escaped...never to be seen again. It is possible but not likely she is still living undercover..but i doubt it...

As for my larger of the 2 female johnsoni...She had developed some sort of bacterial infection or pop eye(pop eye is usually seen in poor water conditions, which is not the reason for this particular fish) I could only describe it as popped out , but then the actual eyeball was on top of the bubble, totally disorienting the fish, I have seen her three times only briefly. Last time I saw her she was whiter than normal and appeared to be losing color. I have not found a carcus but I wouldnt be surprised if my CUC ate it. I do have hope shes living in hiding but without eating in atleast 7-10 days the prospects are looking grim. I am hoping for the best, but in my mind i have come to terms as to what is probably true, they are both dead. Hope for the best. prepare for the worst. thats why I always try to spring for a trio if I can afford, and aquire it.
 
Nice. I saw that you were trying to sell some so was wondering what your kept. I just picked up the bathyphilus that has been sitting on LADD for a week or more since its on my top 10 list that I'm looking for.

What has your experience been with the Naokoae? I've read they are a bit aggressive end for wrasses.
 
GREAT NEWSSS!!!!! I found the female johnsoni today!! he came out for feeding! His eye appears to be still a bit poped out but it has gotten better since seeing him last. He must have went into hiding to let it heal! what amazing fish ill tell you..a what a will to survive. I will try to snap some pics of her when i see her again. on a side note now the female that was smaller than the missing female is larger, and starting to chase the female with the damaged eye. who knows I might need to pull the injured one, or all three and reintroduce then together, as they were the 1st faires in the tank and now seem to want to rule it. noo good esp when I add the luntaus
