Leopard Wrasse Primer

[flameangel88]

That's a very nice looking fish and you got either the only one they had or the last one as it's no longer available.

Good thing I went over to look for the picture because I didn't know certain wrasse will not tolerate copper. Also since it eats like Mandarin it should be out in the open all the time. Great pick-up!

Please post pictures!

yes i got the last one ,i almost bought two a week ago but they were a bit pricey so i just kept calling until he was the last . they had them for three weeks so i think i have a better chance ,its eating pellet food and all others .it is near the end of the summer in australlia so he probably is a bit older and that may help too .

maybe 2 1/4 " , it was hard to see i kind of dripped and added him in the dark as to not stress him but i did get a decent look at him .he is fat and was breathing slowly so i think he was pretty calm and not to stressed out .then in the tank he was out for 30 seconds then under he went . plus the tank had a blanket wrapped around it so it was kinda dark .i will get some shots asap once he gets settlen in .

Glad to hear that the wrasse is not too stressed out. Might as well let it rest for the night. Look forward to seeing pix tomorrow.

Thanks. I need to update that when I get a chance. I've done some changes since going with more deep water fish and had to move about one-third out due to lower temperature and aggression. With the addition of Bandit, Tinkeri and Crosshatch the temp is currently maintained at 72.

btw--the tank had corals b4 I added the pair of semilarvatus and they wiped out in less than a week. They were just so hard to resist.

I know the feeling and I'd to get a freezer just for their food while trying to cut down on expenses. :lol:
