Leopard Wrasse Primer

[BL1]

I just finished moving around some of the rocks, the structure is basically the same but hopefully it'll make a difference.

Are you talking about the Macropharyngodon lapillus that was offered a couple weeks ago?

WOW, yeah you should have! Too bad I can't add anymore to my tank... someday... I'm adding that to my dream list. Thanks for posting.

figure ill qoute myself.
well meleagris is doing great per usual.
so is the bipartus, eats lil pig.

struck out with the potters... i dunno why i can't keep one of these, he was doing great for a couple weeks than his mouth started to degrade....

i keep telling myself no more potters so im going with a kuiters hopefully this friday.

Can you describe or have a picture of what you mean by the mouth started to degrade? Is this common and is there something that can be done to prevent this issue? If noticed early enough can something be done to help reverse the problem?

Not sure if I posted but my Potters Wrasse turned a year in my tank a couple of weeks ago! :celeb1::hb2: It has noticeably grown, but it is still relatively small compared to other monsters I've seen at stores every once in a while. Its probably only 2".

 

[iamwrasseman]

i have one of the above pictured fish and he is wery cool ,a bit boisterous but cool . i would say he acts very much like a timid dragon wrasse as he does a bit of aquascaping on his own throughout the day .
how much did they sell him for ?

These wrasse are fairly common in our local waters. Based on the feedback I got on various forums, this one included, its a Halechoeres, not a Marcropharyngodon.

Here is a pic of a supermale, I caught a year ago.
Released it again, was too big for my systems.
