Leopard Wrasse Primer

[Thornbreaker]

Cancun,

1. They are just a true perculia and a snowflake. I definitely tried to stay on the peaceful side of clowns.

5. That's a good thought, and it's quite possible my LFS has his in a coral tank as well where the sg would be much closer.

Thanks for the reply. Your fish look great.

Anyone know if this marco sand would be suitable for leopard wrasses?

I want to make sure I get a good grain size that is safe for their burrowing.

I've got the Marco sand and my leopard had no problems burying in QT and is doing great in the display, which is also Marco sand. Don't see any issues with it!

Great thank you. They sell it for less than $1/lb so seems like a good deal and good sand.

Looks like a female Kuiters to me....or Maybe a adult moyers....the Kuiters and Moyers look very similar. I have a Moyers...here is a pic of him...he is still in his Juvi colors....nice catch by the way....

I did a couple of rounds of prazi in the qt. She is eating great, pellets, flakes, frozen mysis. I put her in the DT today after a couple of hours in an acclimation box. She seemed a bit stressed with the new tank mates, kept pacing back and forth.
Oddly enough, my big green blue chromis developed a grudge and was chasing her around... don't you just hate it when your $10 dollar fish bullies your $200 dollar fish
So I'll be looking to trap out the bully chromis.

I'll take some pics once she settles in a bit

Ordered these a few days ago. Really loving them. I think I actually like them better than Choati's now. First time I've actually seen Potter's in person. Both came from saltwaterfish.com and are eating great.

Not yet. I'm probably several months away. Rock and sand are going in tank over the next week and I'll hopefully start the cycle come April. I think I got enough Marco sand for about a 2.5" sand bed. Leopards will be probably my 3rd or 4th set of additions to the tank. Thanks for asking!
