Lunatus and Pintail Wrasse

huskerreef said:
I would also add that I got a nice pair of Balteatus Wrasses from pacificislandaquatics. They were the contact point in Hawaii that recieved my fish from Japan into the USA and they had a real nice pair of the Balteatus so I added them to the box on its way to Nebraska. They are a very nice looking fish and also eating and doing well.

Pics or it didn't happen :p

Congratulations on the lunatus! I've been looking at those for a long time. Were they caught in Japan?

He's only been in there for a day and since he was last added I expect him to be nice. The odd thing is that I added a Male to my 620 downstairs and the Kathrinae kind of bullyed him a little at first and his orange stripe is now gone.
 
Everyone is doing great, the Pintail is quite the flasher. Almost nightly he's swimming around strutting his stuff and regulalry forces the female Johnsoni to spawn. I need to get some updated pics of the Lunatus but they won't sit still,lol. Here a good pic of the Pintail

and Johnsoni

A buddy was over and the male was flashing like crazy trying to get the Johnsoni female to spawn. These type of pics have to be the hardest to get, but he managed to get a couple good ones

The hybrid fairy is flashing at a female johnsoni? How about the male johnsoni? Does it also flash at the female johnsoni also?

Here is my johnsoni pair. The male flashes at the female every evening.

Over the last couple days I have noticed that the juvenile male appears to be changing in coloration. He is beginning to get some black shading coming in and also a bit more yellow on the lower to mid section of his body. I will try and get a pic to compare to the earlier shots of the pair. I have my fingers crossed that he may go into the dark phase as some of the best pics I have seen of the Lunatus are when they go into this phases. Her is an example of what I am hoping for.
