So, who else has been bitten by the Fairy/Flasher/Leopard Wrasse bug? PICS ADDED!!!!
 

I changed up my bioload/stocking plan and decided to go hard-core into reef-safe wrasses with my present setups. The nice thing is that if they get along, then you can keep more different colourful species of r-s wrasses than with the larger fish that I normally kept before.

Now I have:

Blue flasher
Filament flasher
Carpenter's flasher
Temminckii fairy
Exquisite fairy
2 x Orange back fairy
Solarensis fairy
Lubbock's fairy
Yellow Flank fairy
Green wrasse
Cleaner wrasse
Ornate Leopard
Leopard wrasse (2 reg. females)
Potter's Leopard
Surprisingly, almost all these wrasses get along (probably because I feed frequently and heavily). My baby girl, Isabella, loves to watch the colourful wrasses swimming around, which is one of the reasons I started this collection.

I'm finding that as long as the new wrasse survives the initial harassment from the Candy Hogfish, then it hides for a day or two before joining the gang.

The second female reg. Leopard Wrasse is still finding its way into the hierarchy but its eating mysis and I'm hoping that it's presence will trigger the other female (or itself) to morph into a male (green-blue colour) leopard wrasse.

So, just wondering how many others are getting into these colourful little reef-safe fish?

I'm with u anthony I love my wrasses u have some nice ones too

You should get some pics up of all those together! Thats an impressive amount of wrasses to be held together.

I really like the female Blue Star Leopard Wrasse

Yep I'm in


Mystery Wrasse
Wetmorella nigropinnata wrasse
2 Richmonds Juvenile wrasse
Yellow flanked wrasse
Blue lined Wrasse
Melanarus wrasse
and a pink body with white underside wrasse Have not been able to ID yet.


By far some of my favorite fish. They have so much personality and you can tell they are stairing back at you. I have a few that I can pick up with my hand.

I have a male leopard wrasse that was a female when I got it. He changed over the course of about 2 months this summer. I'd like to add another one.

Also have a mystery wrasse that I picked up about 2 months ago - I love it!

Over the years I've had a handful diffrent wrasses, and have had many jump out, so keep a lid on your set up!

I have glass tops on all my tanks now. Lose some light but great for controlling evaporation and keep fish from jumping although I've picked up my Temminckii twice from the floor when it jumped through when I didn't put the lid on properly after feeding.

:x-mas:

I just got my first one, solar wrasse and he's awesome! Would love to see pics of what everyone has!
