HI Flame wrasse Flashing update...

[MarvinsReef]

this is the first time I saw him sorta chase the female around... kinda cool... his colors were very intense... I just wished he did it under normal lighting... lighting in the vid is (1) ATI Blue + and (1) 22k AquaScience T5 bulbs (considered my actinics only)... he normally starts flashing every night about 30 mins before the main lights turn off around 10 pm... then, when the actinics turn on, he goes to another level of flashing... can't wait to add a few more females...

Wait, wasn't Flashing Wrasses a 60s rock group?

 

[Sikryd]

That is COOL!
(Typical guy - chasing the women around before bed! lol)
I just called one of my local guys out here this morning. He's getting in some next week. Hopefully I can get a nice group of them.

Thank you... the male went in first, then added 2 females but one of the females didn't make it... this pair have been together for about 10 months now... the male I've had since summer last year, if I remember correctly...

when I'm working on the tank, I normally have the radio on and it's better to have the music background rather than the pumps and the dehumidifier as backgrounds... :hammer: so whatever song that's on, that's the song my fishes dance to... LoLz... anyway, thanks for stopping by...
