Beautiful wrasse. I've always swayed away from them due to fear of them being aggressive. Nice to know.

Long Time No See

Long Time No See

I am so happy to see my old tank still providing joy to you and your family but also sad that you suffered the crash man. I hope to hear from you sometime my friend. I look to make a comeback next year myself.
 
I was able to obtained a Diamond Tail Flasher Wrasse last week from NYAquatic. A friend and I ordered two small ones. Both arrived in great condition and eating right away. I even got them eat Otohime Pellets after a few days. This make condition and grow them out much easier. My friend with pick his wrasse up in about 2 weeks, the smaller one, is mine. Only 1 inch, I really need to grow him out some before putting him in my DT. If I am not very careful, my Harlequin Tusk with have a very expensive snack.
Below are pictures of the two Diamond Tail Flashers and a short video of them dinning on Otohine pellets. I also have a larger Carpenter wrasse in this QT tank.

I ordered another Diamond back Flasher and got one even smaller than my little one. No mater, After 6 weeks, they grew a lot and developed a lot. Here are pictures of my two current Diamond Back Wrasse
After 6 weeks, this is how he looks now. He started to have elongated 10th dorsal ray, the diamond shape tail, and start to have increase coloration of an initial male. He grew from under 1 inch to 1.5 inches in 6 weeks

Over all my tank is really doing well, all the animals are healthy and the nutrient is under reasonable control. Recent pictures of some of my fishes (and clam). Not all the fish by any mean, I have 24 wrasses, plus other fishes.
