on marine depot its $65 for a large one. it says a large one is 5 to 6 inches. well hes 4 1/2 roughly. on salt water fish it says hes $100 for 4 inches so i am asking for $65 or some corals. I am looking for some sps, zoos, clams or any tangs( the fish) so please let me know. thanks

wow holy huge! Had no idea those get to be 24 inches... I'm guessing you didn't either then huh?

 

[ryanhayes96]

i was told they get up to a foot by the guy at the store. he even looked it up. but it says 24 so i must get rid of it.

I may be interested in trading you.
He'd be the first fish in the 110.
I have a ton of frags I'll be parting with when I transfer everything to the new tank.


BTW, the RBTA died about 2 days ago.



A moment of silence please

Twin spot wrasses are not reef safe....at all.

Has a temperature range of 75 - 82°F (24 - 28°C) and has a natural diet of benthic invertebrate, usually hard-shelled invertebrates. Requires a meaty diet, including chopped fish and shrimp flesh, fortified brine shrimp, mysis, black worms and other meaty type frozen foods, with two or three feedings per day. A burrowing species and must have a deep layer of fine sand, i.e., at least four inches (10 cm) for small specimens. Provide a fine-grained substrate of at least 6 inches (15 cm) in depth for adults. Has a habit of turning over rubble, therefore can damage plate corals. Will also eat snails, urchins, sea stars, brittle stars, shrimp, clams, and worms of all kinds, and when larger may eat small fishes. Cute when small, however, grows too large for most hobbyist aquariums. May bury itself for days upon being introduced in the aquarium.



it seems to me its like 50/50 with corals. but no with inverts. it talks about it under the marine depot link. i put a hermit in for him to eat, he picked at it but left it alone s idk, didint know it wzs going in a reef

Not reef safe can mean two things.
Fish or inverts that will eat corals
Fish or inverts that will eat other inverts or fish
This fish falls into the second category. An awesome fish though!

Yeah, I did a little reading and for one I have a 3" SB, not what I would consider deep.
Next apperantly they like eating snails, and probably all my pepermint shrimp.

Maybe not a good chice for my tank. I'm sure someone on here has a nich FO tank that could take him on.
