Blue spot: I've read these are tougher to get eating but thought I got a good juvi female. I've read they last about 1-2 months in the home of they don't eat, but mine was eating mysis, flakes and sometimes pellets. She only lasted that long and then started getting really thin. Treated with prazi so not sure why she took a turn for the worse?
Does this particular tamarin do poorly compared to other species just as WWM says for instance?

Jbvdhp... I also have a Blue spot for a few years as well. I purshased it as a tiny aprox 1" juvi and it grew fast about 6" now. Although it eats everything now, all types of frozen, pellets, flakes etc.. And is one of the few fish fish that constantly hunts all day eating even those mini serpant stars. Hermits and small snails are on the menu as well. I started feeding it live pods at first and then it gradually accepted other foods.

Yeah mike I was hoping she would make it into my 240, but didn't make it. She ate (what I saw as a lot) with the other fish too. Really sad, pretty fish.

I picked one of these up at my LFS today. Although after reading this thread now I'm a little nervous.
He's in a 10 gal. QT with a juvenile Clown and Pajama Cardinal. I'm hoping they will get along until they are moved to the DT.
I'll try and take a picture later today and post it. He's such a beautiful fish, I hope I can keep him alive.

I believe I got the Yellowtail Tamarin Wrasse.

Well, the original holotype photo is out there, but that is the only one I know of.
Not exactly as stunning as a preserved fish.

Never heard of one being kept. Would love to see one in someone's tank.
That photo doesn't do them justice at all. I have seen a few terminal males, and they were absolutely stunning. Unfortunately at well over a foot, I felt they would have been better off left in the wild instead of exported. No idea how well they adapt to captivity at that size.
