picking up my new guard dog tomorrow cant wait

 

[650-IS350]

Here are my pittbulls, ( only shot with a point and shoot ) bastards kept moving, best shots I could get.

My Royale Gramma, ampipod hunter

Yellowfin Red fairy wrasse Pod hunter

Mystery wrasse- overall hunter

Yellow Coris- my work horse

and my algae cleaner saying hi.

 

[650-IS350]

Oh yeah also have a leopard wrasse but it already went under the sand to sleep so no pics of her.

 

[tobey]

i got my guard dog today (Hoevens wrasse) but he seems to like to hide in the sand more than come out and play.

 

[650-IS350]

Leopards and hallicores ones usually hide right away once placed in a tank. Guess its a defensive mechanism. They'll come out here and there till they feel fully brave about it and swim all over the place.

my little guy was out cleaning when i got up. however my camera is horrible at taking pictures of moving objects

 

[Skeptic_07]

is he/she still juvenile? I love the way the juvis look.

 

[tobey]

Care to name them for anyone else looking to pick up a new G Dog?

Mucho Reef

What do those wrasses actually do? I mean they keep them free from algae and predators, but what types/kinds? Do they eat red bugs, flatworms, etc?

Just curious....

Some wrasses have been known to eat nudis. Wrasses will also help control pod population. Many surgeons will graze on algae. Does anyone care to share what their dogs are doing?

Make your move. :mad2:

 

[Brett9917]

Do all wrasses need a sand bed? My LFS had some red coris wrasses in, but I have a BBT

Any ways my PBT keeps the algae at bay... Even the kind I introduce into the tank... lol

 

[IPisces]

Here is my clown ferry wrasse. They do a great job. I noticed some flatworms about a year ago and got this guy and two days there was not another flatworm to be seen.

and then theres this little guy.

What does your dog guard?

 

[Friday Night]

What does your dog guard?

Right now she guards the rack (random) anything i put up there that i dont want bubba the blue knuckle hermit to knock over goes up there. Gold frogspawn and SINGLE zoa frags brother your favorite! lol...:beer: and she watches it like a hawk...

 

[chucktd321]

No not all wrasses need a sand bed. I think all most all of them do but I know sixlines don't being that they sleep in rocks. Im sure there are others but thats the only one im a 100% sure on. I wouldn't want to mislead you but i think even some of the ones that need sand could do well if there is enough porus rock IMO
