Thought I'd show off a Mystery

[Lou Cifer]

What's up guys
Just wanted to share some pics of my mystery wrasse that I just got.
Hope you like.
By the way, if any of you guys have any fairy wrasses that you're looking to sell, please send them my way.

Sorry about the picture quality.

Very nice!! One of the LFS around here had one for 39.99, they thought it was a type of hogfish, lol. Made me wish I had a canopy or something to keep it from jumping.

 

[Lou Cifer]

Thanks.
$39! And I thought I got a good deal.
You shoulda taken it.

 

[masterqaz]

how much did you get yours for. The last one i saw for sale was 200.00

 

[Lou Cifer]

It was the score of the year for me.
I got it for $75.

 

[secrest]

75 is a very good deal. I wish I would have gotten him, but I know he woulda jumped on me

 

[Lou Cifer]

That would've sucked.

That is one plump mystery!! It looks like he just got done eating a cleaner shrimp.

Very nice fish, he looks quite healthy. Did you purchase from an LFS or on-line? I have been trying to order one from Twilightaquatics.net and have not heard from them. They have mystery wrasses for $150. I love these fish.

 

[Lou Cifer]

Thanks, he does seem to be very healthy. I hope he stays that way.
I got the fish from a fellow reefer.

I bought one for $89 from a local store. It was a great deal. Same day I also pick up a helfrichi for $69

 

[Lou Cifer]

Sweet!

If you are looking for a good price on a mystery wrasse, try FishSupply.com. Scroll down and you will see them for $89.99 each. I had ordered one but they did not have the other fish I wanted in stock. They did have mystery wrasses in stock though.

I've never had a mystery wrasse jump out of a tank. I did have one that jumped in the overflow box and lived in the filter sock for a couple days before I found him. Gave him to a buddy (RyanN) who still has him to this day in an open topped tank. They aren't necessarily jumpers like fairy wrasses are. The one I have now is in a completely open top set-up as well. No issues.
