Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. I haven’t had good luck with the Pygmy wrasses in general, but they are one of my favorite fish to watch.
Yeah I don’t particularly agree with the easy label they are given but I hope to retry at some point.

Yeah I tried the Liopropoma basslets and fell in love with how beautiful, hardy and EASY they are, (eat ANYTHING), after my bad luck with possum wrasses lol.

There are candy basslets for sale here, but they are around 35$ USD which is a bit on the steeper side. What was you experience with them? Disease? Feeding? Or other?

Try a Swissguard or Swalesi or Cave Basslet instead! Much cheaper. Super hardy and haven’t had issues with disease yet. Eat everything I put into the tank and have fun personalities! They swim fast and look beautiful! My profile pic is my Swissguard basslet who I had for 4.5 years before I moved and had to give him away. Best fish ever!

If you keep a lookout I’m sure you can find one at some point! I don’t know how tough it is to acquire fish where you’re located, I hope you find a fish you like soon :crying-face:

I’m headed out in a few minutes to see what I might be able to pick up for my Little Rock pool pico I’ll let you know if I see any basslets :)
