Top 10 Wrasses

[nayrgaijin]

Where do you guys find the Anampses femininus for sale ? Pretty rare ? Expensive ?

 

[myerst2]

From those who I have spoke with who have dove in their range feminus is somewhat common, common enough not to demand the price. Problem is they ship horribly and they aren't collected often. I think mt top two may have to be femminus and a healthy trio of choati.

its funny that Choati Leopard Wrasse is on a lot of lists, but has anyone here kept one alive more than 6 months?

3. Male Rhomboid
4. Female Rhomboid
5. Male Labouti
6. Female Labouti (might be harder to find)
7. Male Lineatus
8. Female Lineatus
9. Radiant
10. A leopard of some kind.

Steve, that's great news about your choati. Funny I was just wondering that the other day.

Mystery Wrasse - is one of my favorite fish, in general. I like the orbiting eye socket movement & its swimming movement.

 

[WestTexasReefer]

I have lineatus, exquisite, solar, mystery, blue sided fairy, lubbocks, melanarus and a filamented flasher. All peaceful active and colorful.

 

[andrew9]

1. Feminus
2. Lennardi
3. Earles Flasher Wrasse (pair)
4. Trio of Flames
5. Pair of Lineatus
6. Red Sea 8 lime flasher
7. Pair of johnsonis
8. Paracheilinus piscilineatus, the Mauritius flasher wrasse
9. Pair of Bealles
10. Hooded fairy wrasse

That would be quite the colletion. However i have no idea if these would all get along together.

Just one, Anampses femininus

There is a nice article about this guy on the builders site... funny I saw this today and the original posts are over 2 years ago. Beautiful fish.

I'd love a lennardi myself.

 

[MikeandNicole]

It is really funny to look at the lists of what was available 2 years ago and what is available today. Earlie's, feminus, bellae where a pipe dream of a fish 2 years ago and today they are available, although expensive. I wonder what wrasses will be the must haves 2 years from now.
