that is one sweet looking fish..i have never kept flames but both males and females are very nice looking...those are great pics by the way..fairys are some of the hardest pics to get..the move so much and so fast

 

[JuniorMC8704]

lol, your not kidding! the hardest part is the back of their fin is always waving which makes it really hard to get a good focus on the entire fish.

im excited to see what i can get tomorrow when i use my macro.

beautiful fish. good luck with it.

 

[detguy123]

yes that little fin moves so much it is very hard to get it in focus..i waste alot of blurry pics to get a few that turn out

nice flame, but i thought the super males have blue around their fins

 

[JuniorMC8704]

eh, maybe hes just a huge, really nice male.

hes twice the size of the female he was with before she jumped out of the tank.

so I assumed, but either way, loving this fish.

Great fish Jr!!! I really want a pair of those myself, but I am afraid my Purple tang would rip them up...

 

[JuniorMC8704]

well he put my purple tang in his place in the first 2 minutes.

it was really funny...when all the other fish saw him acclimating, they all grouped together by a big rock and it was like a meeting (who the crap is that?)

then i let him loose and he rushed the whole group of them at once, and pretty much took control of the tank.

then he flashed and it was etched in stone who was the boss...my purple made a couple passes, and since then kept his distance.

I have a pair of flame wrasse. They are pretty indifferent. Their behavoir in my tank is much like the yellow coris wrasse. They just cruise the tank minding their business. I pretty much hand feed them each night and have trained one of them to do a trick. I make an "O" with my fingers and the female will dart through it a couple of times, like an animal jumping through a hoop at the circus. All around a nice community fish.

great looking fish mine just jumped out of my tank last week. The female is there though but not as prety as the male miss him!
