Speaking of my love for wrasses

My "holy grail" fish has always been a Lineatus wrasse. Kevin told me last week that lineatus wrasses were on one of our suppliers lists and asked me if he should bring one in. I was like.....YA! He arrived yesterday afternoon and after his acclimation went in to the display. I fed the tank an hour or so later and he ate!!!

I am soooo jazzed. He is a little bigger than perhaps I would have chosen but crap....its a lineatus! Once again sorry for the poor picture quality...best I could do so far.

Nice...but...

The Mystery wrasse is nicer

I think that's my holy grail fish too. One day ... I have some major saving up to do. In the meantime you might have to put up with me coming over to visit and drool at the sight of yours!

Congrats, hope he does well and .. I can't remember, do you have a cover over your tank or a skirt? Wrasses being jumpers and all ..

Really??? Why do you think that? Not trying to be a jerk ....just really curious about what you like better about the Mystery wrasse.

Tony you are welcome to come and check it out anytime man. A lineatus may be easier to save for than you think. If you want, pm me and I can give you an idea of what we are charging for them. No cover yet.

What do you have that you think would take out a lineatus? Your corris???

l

I like the coloring and the eye placement and look....it`s like a sixline that got dressed up to go out

The coloring on some of the fairly and flasher wrasses looks to Hodge podge for me....to much going on. The Mystery wrasse just appeals to me aesthetically that's all. But remember I like the scoprionfish and frgofish though so

Hey Doug you said that the Lineatus wrasse came in a little bigger then you wanted, around what size are you thinking it was? Ya I'm thinking the Red Coris wrasse would kill it, as I tried a Carpenters Wrasse a bit ago and it lasted 3 days. From my signature you can see the rest of my current fish, I don't think any of the others would be the culprits, but I could be wrong. Pm me the going rate for one, as I'm gonna try to get the Red Coris out to put one in.
