Thanks Tony! I was pretty discouraged as I've bought 7 wrasses over the past couple of months and only have 2 swimming around. One jumped, one looked like it rubbed or got stuck on a rock and died. The other 3 just disappeared (until last night). So, I won't give up on them yet.

Wrasses are kinda funny in that they go through jet lag and take up to 3-4 weeks to adapt to a new time zone. This is especially true if you get them when they just arrive to the stores.

When I bought my leopard 6 years ago it was on Philippian time still up at night eventually she changed to the time zone but for the first 2 weeks I didn`t see her and now she is changing sex to a male...pictures of her/him before and now in this form Marine Fish.I am picking up a female now at the end of the month so I expect to go through this again.....

Another story for you, I had a Green Wrasse and Mysteri Wrasse the Green was added before the Mysteri both around the same size. They were in my 120G. I never saw the Mysteri for the first 5-6 months only zipping in and out to feed and the odd swim around I had seen some aggression and chasing around by the green wrasse.
Since I have had got rid of the green wrasse to a new 400G home the Mysteri wrasse is out swimming around and my favorite fish again. So I guess is there anything bugging it? |

I'm feeding heavy as it is quite thin. It came out right away and checking now, he's staying out He also seems a bit more comfortable around the other fish, no one is picking on him. Now to wait on the other lubbocks.
