New Lineatus Fairy Wrasse

[saltyunderground]

Here's our new Lineatus fairy wrasse. He ate mysis at MS yesterday before coming home. Did not eat this morning though. If anyone has had one of these fish advice is welcome. Before you say it, the tank is covered. Say a little prayer to the fish gods for us that he settles in okay.

Is he in QT alone or are there other fish present? I just brought home a Lubbock's Fairy wrasse and the same thing happened. Day one he ate a little, day two he hid all day, and from then on he has been eating like a piglet. He's probably just getting used to his surroundings at the moment, and if he is in a tank with other fish, he may be feeling shy.

I wouldn't be worried for another couple of days as it is probably just the stress from the change. Try soaking the mysis in freshly pressed garlic juice or Selcon. That usually works for me.

Good luck! He's a beauty!
