Rhomboid Wrasse

[zemuron114]

well i appreciate the comments

i honestly believe most of the troubles originate from decompression issues. they are a deep wrasse for the most part and are usually pinned by the collectors (which is actually fine in most cases) if the collector knows what he is doing, they will be fine in the long run. I had one my friend caught for almost 2 years but he died during a tank spike (along with about 12 other fairies ) keep temp below 80, well fed, and QT with prazi pro, and you should be good to go. It shouldn't take long to de-worm (couple weeks)

large angels - i agree 100%. I think most people lose more fairies (and fish in general) to high temps.

thanks for the heads up with the temp... good to know when I get some nice wrasses later on..

Hmm never lost a fairy to high temps yet and my tank routinly gets up to 86 and is full SPS go figure. Now jumping on the other hand stupid fish can find the craziest ways to get out or to somewere were I cant get them.

Some fairy's may do well at higher temps. But generally they tend to do better at lower temps. Many of these fairy wrasses live in deep water which is cooler. Just like many other fish, such as angels, that come from deeper water do better in colder tanks.

Whats your average temp that you maintain Large Angels?
What is the age of your oldest wrasse? I would love to be able to support these fish to a ripe old age.

Average temp. is 76°F. I think the oldest is about 4 years.

How low do you let your tank go LargeAngels?

Thanks!

I think the controllers turn the heaters on at 75°F and the Chiller at 77°F.

Thanks! Just checking to see where others are running their tanks.
