Yellowchest Twist

[Hookup]

Just ordered a Yellowchest Twist. I know what i'm getting into from reading about their survival, heartiness, etc, but i'm wondering if anyone has any real-world experience with these fish?

I'd not seen them before when I was looking for some tammarin wrasse and found these.

I've a 180 display, successfully keeping a potters wrasse and others (flame, red velvet, though I admit those are not hard).

Hi Hookup, I have 4 tamarin wrasse in my reef system. Feminimus, Neoguinaicus, Chrysocephalus and a Twisti. Easy fish to take care in my opinion. But make sure that their mouth are not injured when you bought it. Sorry my english is so bad, I wish you will understand what I said. And the easiest tamarin I got is my Twisti. He's the biggest of the 4. He eat everythings, pellets, flakes, mysis, brine, red plankton and cyclopeeze. They all sleep in sand. They don't wake up when light goes on, they all take few hours to wake up but they go to sleep after light turn off. They eat in my hand and no agression between them. They are very peaceful wrasse. I got 4 other Super Male in my tanks...Cirrhilabrus family, very more agressive. Always a pain when I put a new wrasses in my tanks. I hope that I'll answer 2 or 3 questions.
Thanks
David

h0bite, your english is just fine! Much better than my french (?)!

this is very nice to read! Thank you very much. Fish should arrive tomorrow. I will inspect condition and try. The red-tail also comes tomorrow.

For agression, i use a 12inch x 12inch piece of mirror on the side of the tank... all of the agression is against the mirror so new fish are left alone for a few hours to settle in.. this has been working very well.

Thank you again

And your english is fine... my *any other language* is horrible.

Thanks David. The order has been delayed unfortunately so I lost availability. It was very unexpected and sad.
