Thanks Ryan. The colors reflecting off the surface is what I liked about these two pictures. How is yours doing? Any new pictures?

Well, I finally put the Bellae into the tank after a few weeks in QT where it was doing great. He did good in the display for the first few days but I havn't been able to see him all day! Im pretty worried but there is nothing I can do for him at this point. All the other fish are doing great including a pair of Ventralis anthias! its crazy to me that the ventralis are fine but I can't find the bells!!!

I thought about that... But i added 10 fish with him so there was a whole mix of new guys! and he was out the first day or two. I really really hope he is still alive because he was doing soo good in QT...

So who is the boss wrasse of your tank ?
my current list of wrasse include a pair of Paracheilinus octotaenia, a super male flame wrasse, Cirrhilabrus condei with really odd coloring, Paracheilinus lineopunctatus. the flame has been with me around 2 years and is by far the tank boss, he occasionaly goes on his rampage chasing everyone in the tank to let them know not to mess with him.

thank you sooo much for your belief in him. I had lost hope although I was hoping he would show up every time I walked by the tank. Then after a few days of him hiding he just popped out of some rocks and started eating! Im so excited. I ran into my bedroom and told my wife like a little kid!
All three of them are doing great. Here are a couple of new shots I liked of the Bellae. Pretty colorful. LOL
Brad, see if you can get us a shot of the Bellae flashing. would love to see that pic. Just wondering, how many females do you have in your tank?

The fungus is among us.
Wrasses are a very broad group of fish from little cleaners to giant parrot fish and everything in between. It would be difficult to make any generalizations about all wrasses for aquaria. Many peaceful wrasse species can cohabit if the tank size and environment are suitable. I have two leopards, a possum and a yellow "coris" in my tank along with other fish. And it's very peaceful.
Cheers.:hmm5:
