Main reason I do not keep the leopard wrasses. All of my fish are jurks. I would be selfish to even try one.Yeah…
Certainly something I’ve learned is you can’t keep aggressive or even semi-aggressive with some fish. Having a peaceful tank and a plan for aggressive fish is key.
They are beautiful. I have a peaceful tank that allows me to keep leopards and tamarin wrasses. Though it does require the occasional eviction to this tank.Main reason I do not keep the leopard wrasses. All of my fish are jurks. I would be selfish to even try one.
Along with pseudanthias tuka, I absolutely love the look of them. But they need a true peaceful system.
Tamarins are gorgeous, I'm going to have to rummage through your builds for pics.They are beautiful. I have a peaceful tank that allows me to keep leopards and tamarin wrasses. Though it does require the occasional eviction to this tank.

Pretty much, only more rockwork destruction.I also have a juvenile dragon. Do they stay as hyper and active when they mature?
Rumour is they get quite aggressive. Its why I wanted one a similiar size or smaller to my other wrasse.I also have a juvenile dragon. Do they stay as hyper and active when they mature?
Any small invert. Worms, crabs, shrimp. I have a feeling they are the ultimate bristle/fire worm hunters.What are they always looking for in the sand? What pests do they eat?
Thanks but I am disappointed. When I took that first picture I thought it was gold. Like SDreef quality so when I downloaded it onto my computer and it was blurry I was sad. But got plenty of time for a better shot.Looks like a picture you would see when you google juvenile Dragon wrasse! Looks good!
So this girl is such a pain to feed. I’m not sure if she’s scared of the others but now it’s nighttime hand feeding only. I want to write a new thread and edit my article since I have had these eels roughly a year now but for now here’s how I have to feed her.

Whats frustrating is the lack of consistency. The other snake could not be more different in both behavior and physically. Obviously it is much shorter and fatter but its jaw also seems to be completely different as does is its head size compared to body. I don't know if you saw how tiny the width of that salmon chunk was but the gold spot eats chunks many times broader. What makes things even more confusing is I know one at an LFS that is also a gold-spotted but its shape is more similar to my banded.Who knows what really happens over time, these have notoriously not done well long term, and a temperamental attitude during feeding is likely the number one reason. This may also be a faze, maybe even a breeding instinct, making them disinterested in feeding. There may be a reaction to the feeding response of the other eels, they may perceive as aggressive, all eels are going to be individuals. As a side note, I'm very frustrated with my tessa right now, really the most shy tessa I have ever seen and temperamental many times and feeding dominantly on salmon. Working them through this may get them back to a more dependable feeding routine. Depending on the collection size at a year many eels will reach a maturity where the frequency of feeding will be once a week or even longer. Also access your diet as they will start refusing foods not giving the nutrients they need, there also may need to be more time between feeding. Are you feeding whole shrimp, not shelled and gutted; really small whole fresh shrimp. Ribbon eels can be like this also, difficult for the entirety and some hobbyist lose patience, this may be due to some unknown causes but also has to do with nutritional deficiencies, that's how including live foods kept these going for the long term. Maybe even offering live food, but this become more difficult once the tank becomes more competitive. The ever changing challenges is what makes this fun and really cool to learn.
Pretty huh! I think Alex shows some deep blue shots of his Regal in some of his videos.
Not yet but now I need to!
My very first ribbon eel was this way. He only ate by hand feedings. You might be stuck with this behavior.So this girl is such a pain to feed.
