I love possums wrasses!

One of my favorite fish ever.

+1 possum wrasses take the cake for me.

Really? Mine used to come out all the time, he was always swimming around picking at stuff.
Too bad I lost him in my tank crash.
I need another one.

Possum wrasses are extra awesome. Too bad they're so cryptic. I only saw mine at feeding time. Jumped through a tiny hole. Very punchy little critter.

Definitely my mystery wrasse!

Pink streaked wrasse (aka cryptic sixline).

Nice. One of my favorites too. Mine stays out in the open. Love the little guys. I also had a Possum for one day. It disappeared the day after I placed it in the tank. My list of favorite wrasses is endless. I love them all. Each has its own appeal.

hawaiian flame wrasse is #1 for me folowed by the mystery wrasse.

 

[PiXieCath]

Hawaiian flame wrasse for me too, followed by the laboute's fairy wrasse. They're both on my wish list for sure!

I'm sure you can tell which are my favorites.

Any of the Leopard wrasses are nice. Especially the M. kuiteri and M. cyanoguttatus. But I've yet to own any, so... they'll always come second to the Australian Harlequin Tuskfish.

cyanoguttatus
Huh?

Here's the only nice pic I could find online for the M. cyanoguttatus. Seen one of these in the early 1990's in a Chicago store.

I didn't think much of flame wrasses, until I got some. They are now my favorite, due to their personalities, hardiness, non-nervous behavior, and of course, COLOR!

My absolute favorite is the Pearly Weed Wrasse or Xenojulis margaritacea. I found one at an *insert chain pet store here* and after watching her for a couple of weeks, had to have her. After having her for about 3-4 months she underwent the change to male. Unfortunately I never got a good picture of the male and lost him in a recent tank move gone bad: ich, broken beak, etc. Finding another is going to be tough but I'm already working on it.

Female:

Male(still brightening):

I'm a fan of the Pyle's Fairy as well. My understanding of their aggression is that it's targeted towards other males of similar color. I guess we'll see what happens when I add a trio of Pyle's with my preexisting Lubbock's.

Same here. Got a whole tank devoted to flame wrasses. How many females you have there Peter? Having a harem is great.
I also have a soft spot for rhomboid, too.
