Scott's Fairy Wrasse

[hawkfish21]

Just wanted to share a picture of my new Scott's Fairy Wrasse. He is currently in my 20 gallon QT for a few days. He's eating and is very active. So far, so good.

Well as long as we are posting pictures... here is one of mine... he's been in the tank for about 2 weeks (after 3 in QT)

Wow, those are both great. Did you two get them from LiveAquaria? I saw that they have pretty good prices on those. Those are both from Cook Island, correct?

Actually I got mine from a place local to me...

Not sure of the original location.

Beautimous. Do you have something to pevent jumping? I've just added live rock to my 120. I've been debating if I should add an eggcrate cover or avoid jumpers when I startto add fish.

eggrate is better than nothing. However, i've seen too many wrassies jump right through that stuff.

i use eggcrate and waterproof metalic tape used for roofing repair.

I use egg crate and I haven't lost a wrasse yet in 8 months with the egg crate.

your pictures inspired me to order one from LiveAquaria. It came in yesterday but I found it dead this morning. It was the Fiji variety with the red spot on the isde.

I didn't quarantine this guy and i'm not shure why he died. no signs of agreesion and no fin damage. just swam upside down for an hour and then gave up.

Make sure you contact them ASAP. I believe the 14 day guarantee applies to this fish.

Just to chip in I just received 2 carpenter wrasse from them a day or 2 ago and they are both dead. I am emailing them in the morning.
