He is currently in a 55 gallon hypo-salinity tank with a blue jaw trigger, melanarus wrasse, leopard wrasse, and a pair of long fin clowns.

    Wrasse question…

    Looking into purchasing a Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse but want to know if it is better to buy an initial phase or a terminal phase male? I know the initial phase will eventually reach the terminal phase but some threads suggest that he will not develop as vibrant coloration if transitioning as a...

    Coral Pest Eater - Pink Streaked Wrasse or White Banded Possum Wrasse

    Hi all, I am looking for a pest-eating fish species to help keep corals from pest vulnerability. I was originally considering adding a six line wrasse to control some coral eating pests, however, after some more research, I am seeing that this fish, even if added last to the system, can become...

Long story short i set up two hospital tanks to treat all fish: 1. 55 gallon I’m using cupramine 2. A 29 gallon I’m...

    Six line and pods?

    Hi, I’m thinking about getting a six line wrasse for my reef tank, but I’m also attempting to raise pods in my refugium and (by default) main tank. Would having a wrasse work against this? Or doesn’t it matter as long as the pods have a refugium? thanks!

    Hi all! I am upgrading soon to an 80 gallon reef (pending light purchase) from a 10g nano. Current stocking includes 2 occy clowns and 1 bicolour blenny.

    Anyone know how to keep Scarlet pinstripe wrasses?

    Does anyone know how to keep Scarlet pinstripe wrasses? Currently have a 30 gallon with some zoas, a blood red fire shrimp and a pair of black clowns. Thinking about adding more coral and maybe adding an anemone. Are the wrasses aggressive? Will they eat corals? Will harm fire shrimps?

    I am looking to add a customer made cover for my 96 gallon ReefSavvy tank. Its a rimless tank so I want something that won't take away from the awesome design of the ReefSavvy tank, but will fit perfectly to ensure that wrasses and other fish don't find their way past the cover. And while I...

    Cirrhilabrus Complexes: Inferiority Need Not Apply (1st Revision)

    Cirrhilabrus, the “Fairy Wrasses”, are one of the most elegant, active, and colorful reef fish. Their appeal in a reef tank is common to many, but not all have a well-rounded understanding of the compatibility amongst them. Enter the notion of “complexes”: groupings of very closely related...

    How to keep wrasse off the floor

    Today is a sad day for me. I went to the basement to feed my QT to find my X-mas wrasse dried up on the floor. Apparently ich is nothing compared to jumping ability. Egg crate did not stop my little buddy. I have been using egg crate on the DT and was planning on going with the BRS netting...

    'Pairing' Wrasses: That's Not How Any of this Works!

    It is something I read often: “Where can I buy a female for my male ____ wrasse?” Or: “I want to buy another ____ wrasse and pair them up!” Wait! Time out for a minute! First, we really need some understanding of how wrasses interact and live in their natural environment. In the ocean, most...
