Yeah, they can be jumpers so my tank will have a screen top made in the next couple days with 1/4" mesh. So far he's content in my new 8' with a couple other small fish that don't harass him so he hasn't jumped.
He's super cute but he freaked me out when I brought him home. While acclimating he "played possum" I thought he had kicked the bucket but nope he was pretending

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I recommend you get yourself innoculated, thus leaving more wrasses for ME!!!!


Here's my 2 Black Leopard's

Here's my picture contribution. Only have 1 wrasse; its a McCoskers. Its a great fish, eats everything and takes it from the surface, mid water and the bottom. Likes to display to the firefish and neon gobies (hopes to get cleaned but the neons don't seem to want to do any cleaning!). The white specks in the last photos are food particles.

Here's an article on Fairy Wrasses by Scott W. Michael that some of you wrasse-aficionadoes might appreciate. Unfortunately, its purely text with no pretty pictures to go with the descriptions.
