    I got two male Wrasses? What do I do?

    I thought it was pretty rare to receive a male leopard wrasse but I just got two potters wrasses delivered and they’re both male... plus there is a smaller male leopard of a different species already in the tank. What do I do about this? Will it be a problem? How big does the tank need to be to...

    male meleagris or ornate leopard wrasse

    Hi everyone, I found a nice leopard wrasse at my LFS for $39. They thought it was a male meleagris leopard wrasse. But it really looks like an ornate to me. Any experts out there that could help me figure this out? Here are some pics from QT:

    Quarantine Leopard Wrasses from LiveAquaria

    Hi Everyone, I’ve had some bad luck with leopards lately that’s been compounded by the lack of availability due to Covid-19. I’ve tried 3 and only had 1 survive. Sadly, that one recently jumped out of the tank... So, after extensive research. I’ve decided to have another go. Eventually, the...

    Hi guys hope you’re all doing well. I’m noticing my lamarcks angelfish chasing my leopard wrasse, it’s not a constant issue and it’s also not hurting my leopard wrasse. My lamarcks angel seems to chase my leopard wrasse when he gets near her, I’ve had my leopard wrasse for over a year and I know...

    Black Leopard Wrasse / Spotted Mandarin / PODS

    Hey hey to my favorite reefers! I have a couple questions before I end up regretting a highly potential impulse buy. I've done some reading, however. So, I am not COMPLETELY oblivious to the potential issues as far as the competition for food goes. That being said, I am wanting to get the below...

    Fighting Conch and Wrasses

    Is it contraindicated to have a fighting conch in a tank with a sand-burying wrasse? Interested in a fighting conch but I have a leopard wrasse that buries into the sand to sleep. Are there concerns with the conch "running into" the wrasse when buried or causing injuries?

    Leopard Wrasse Starving Herself

    It's extremely sad to watch this occurring. I picked up 2 leopard wrasses from my LFS about 6 weeks ago. One is thriving in quarantine, and the other just started starving herself. The weak one was the slowest to bury itself initially, last to start taking frozen food as well. But she...

    Leopard and Fairy Wrasses

    I've been offered a nice looking Leopard Wrasse and while I was planning on only having Fairy Wrasses this grabbed my interest. I would try researching more on my own but this is probably going to pass quickly. Am I asking for trouble when I have a male c. solorensis and male c. lubboki...

    Quarantine of new Ornate Leopard Wrasse

    Hi All, I recently ordered an ornate leopard wrasse (Macropharyngodon ornatus) and she came on Tuesday. Initially, she dove to the bottom and skated around looking for sand. I "helped" her from the glass to the sand bowl and have seen her a few times since. She looks ok for now, but I just...

    New Leopard Wrasse

    I have a new Leopard Wrasse in my QT and have some concerns about her. I have placed a 2 inch container of sand in it and interestingly enough she took right to it first night. The lfs had her in some 1/2 inch sand and said she slept in it. Her behavior seems "depressed" for lack of better word...

    I was just wondering about keeping these types of wrasse. I really like them and feel they would be a great addition to my tank. Just looking at advice at keeping these types of wrasse. At my lfs they don't get them in. He told me they are very hard to keep, but at the time I wasn't looking at...

    Introduction My name is Hunter and I am a wrasse addict. Admitting such is the first step to buying another wrasse, I think. Wrasses are not only my passion, but my niche in this hobby since 2010. My tank is full of them, and unfortunately “regular” species are no longer exciting enough for...
