Wrasse Fever

[arc eye]

I got a fever and the only prescription is more wrasses

Have you guys seem any of the following at the lfs recently and in good health?

Lineatus fairy wrasse
Pink margin fairy wrasse
Yellow flanked fairy wrasse
Hooded fairy wrasse
Exquisite wrasse (fiji or vanuatu)
Christmas wrasse (claudia not ornatissimus)
Pink streaked wrasse

Females are a-okay. Mostly concerned with price and health. Got to be a good deal or I'll just buy from liveaquaria instead. At least they offer a guarantee!

Also post some teasing pics of your wrasse beauties to tide me over!

I'm pretty sure Steve from DC used to have wrasses for sale. I got one (think it was lineatus) and at that time he had Christmas and yellow one for sale.

Male and female lineatus fairy wrasses at California Reef Co. They've been there for months.

Danil, are you back in the game?

 

[EnderTurtle]

I was never out of it! I had my time off moving to my new place in Concord and it took me about a year to set up my new tank. Stop by when you'll have a chance I'll show you my new setup (pm me).

The lineatus pair at cali reef I was told has been sold for months and paid for but the owner has not picked it up yet but ghey have 4 hooded wrasse when I was there last Friday.
Pink margin, aquatic collection in Hayward has them as well as exquisite and christmas wrasse.
Robert (neptune aquatics) has pink margin and exquisite when I went yesterday.
And I picked up one of rare wrasse that Robert just got in a few days ago.
Have you heard or seen a pin tail wrasse? They are african eare wrasse and Ribert has at least 8 yesterday. Beautiful fish

I got a good McCoskers Wrasse from Neptunes in San jose. I put him through thank transfer and two rounds of praziquantel. He was in my DT within 3 weeks and is happy still.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds like I need to give Neptune a call.

Thanks, I gave them a call. The lineatus were a bit spendy for me, but the hooded wrasses sounded like a good deal.

Diamond tails are very tempting at Neptune. Does anyone know the price? That could be worth the drive

Wrasse Fever

199 when I was there today. And they are gorgeous. If only I didn't already have fishes in the qt process.

for that price that scuzy posted, it will be worth it for me. Last one I bought online was $299
Reason I grabbed one yesterday so my qt will have to start over again lol

No. c. lanceolatus is a pin tail fairy wrasse which is also a very nice fish.
Diamond tail is the Paracheilinus Attenuatus.

You will like it Sang. I have both these fish and they are a beauty

 

[Maximus]

Ahh, I thought he had the pin tail. Thanks for clearing that up Ryan!
