Melanurus wrasse for sale

[lcs]

I'm selling him because I want to decrease my bioload and try some other crabs, etc. and I'm afraid they'll be an expensive snack for him. I also think he'd appreciate a much longer tank - mine is only 30".

I've had him for about eight months and he's doing great. He eats anything. I think if I threw in a french fry he'd eat it! He's very active and took care of flatworms I had. He went after some snails the first couple of months, but anything I added since I would add at night after he went to bed and haven't had a problem since. I do think he's the reason for my not seeing any brittle stars though. You will need to have around a 3" sandbed for him to sleep at night (his bedtime is usually around 8:30 ) I'd guess he's around 4.5-5" long.

I've never had any problems with any disease in my tank.

I'm asking $45 for him.

I've seen this fish. He's a beauty. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Lisa tries to catch him. Those Wrasses are lightening fast.

Thanks for the boost! Yeah, catching him ought to be an experience . . . for both of us!

You have any clams housed with him?

Sorry for the delay, it's been crazy lately.

Anyway . . . nope, no clam so I can't say how he'd be. I've heard they go after the pyra...(sp?) snails, but can move the clam around too much in the process, yes?

Something like that. Let me look into it and get back to you if it's still available.

Sounds good. Let me know what you decide, there's no rush.
