problems keepind red coris wrasses

[skraj011]

I really like juvenile red coris wrasses (C. gaimardi), but I can't seem to keep them alive. I have tried them in well established tanks of all different sizes, in which I haven't had problems keeping much more "difficult" species alive.

What are people's experiences with Juvi red coris's?

thanks

I have never tried a red coris, but about 12 years ago I tried yellow coris and neither the origianl nor the replacement even survived the quarantine period. In my case I believe the supplier was the issue, or maybe the collection method. Just something to consider if you are able to keep other fish.

I have found them very hardy. Juveniles need frequent feedings as their metabolism is much faster at that stage than later in life.
