Scurvy’s Mad Wrasse 110

[Fudsey]

No problem what so ever just let me know if you need to get her out and I'll meet you asap

The tank looks absolutely beautiful and I love your fish!

What is the one wrasse with the yellow line across the top?

Congrats on the new angelfish

 

[norfolkgarden]

They had a perfect size purple tang for $99 that I almost grabbed too but resisted that urge. Angels normally arent my bag but she is gorgeous and will get me some points with my gal.

But what's more fun than spending 4 weeks training a yellow and a purple to get along?

Might have finally achieved peace and quiet. Don't expect them to be snuggle buddies any time soon but they are behaving.

Juvenile fish are a good thing!

How long did it take you to convince the yellow and the powder blue to play well together?

They look absolutely beautiful together.

Thanks! I like the contrast they provide too. They were more or less ok with each other immediately. Aside from the initial fin flare, tail slap and stare down in the first few minutes all’s been mostly cool between them. I see the occasional Flare up but nothing alarming. I added them within a couple of hours of one another of course so nobody had any real territory to defend.

That would be the Radiant Wrasse (Halichoeres Iridis).

Thx! The time has flown by for sure. Being my 4th tank in 3 years it has become a lot easier to be patient in some regards but knowing when to just leave it alone and let things settle on their own has been a big difference. In my first setup I fought every little thing tooth and nail for the first 10 months which only set me back and caused more problems.

Here I really beleive the fuge pack I picked up from IPSF.com around Thanksgiving brought quite a bit to the table I had been lacking in previous builds. Lets hope the good times keep rolling!

Would you tell me what IPSF.com stands for. All I seem to find is an insurance co. Thanks

New Girl is demolishing food. I do hate seeing her in the box but necessary due to psychotic tangs. The flaring has diminished mostly but She’ll stay put until Sunday eveing.

Thats a female tricolor. I like that tye dye look! It may hide a few days if the purple is harassing her. I had one hide for a couple of weeks at one point that my yellow didn’t accept right away.

 

[Scurvy]

Well she’s out of the box. PBT immediately wemt after her with no signs of losing interest so out comes the wardrobe mirror. So far thats occupied him to no end while she finds her way around the tank. Shes even chasing herself around at this point.

 

[Scurvy]

Mirror still amazes me how well it can work. Seeing the coloration explode from the fish is a nice bonus. Hope these shots look as good here as my phone.

 

[Fudsey]

PBT looks POd big time....

You sure you don't want to sell me the angel

Great pictures @Scurvy !

 

[Scurvy]

@NY-Caveman @Fudsey Couple Nem shots from the 40B. The GBTA is about 10” across and the RBTA from Fudsey is about 2”. He’a doing well now Fuds.

 

[Scurvy]

I think we have success! Still a quick chase here or there but I think we’re out of the woods.

 

[siggy]

Nice colors on that not-so powder blue
