Thanks, My problem is I have one big plate of glass with the front 6 inches hinged to open and feed. My WC includes removing the entire top and getting distracted cleaning skimmer cups or whatever lol. I'm just paranoid especially with a tank full of Olympic jumpers. Or maybe just looking for a reason to stop doing it lol
There's three ticket, get every last square inch of sand occupied! Now what combination of sand sleepers would accomplish that and be a peaceful tank?
That's the dream. I've got a pretty good CUC just planning on adding the sand sifter to try and offset. Thanks
That is another option lol
Leopards or many sand sleepers can be peaceful. I wouldn’t recommend a melanurus or more aggressive. Adorned leopards radiant yellow and others I would say is a safe bet. Tank mates and tank size along with rock and some luck is more important. Female and young males and how quick you stock is more important to me. Males and more mature they are can be more tricky and don’t deal with stress as easy.
QM is the big player on the west coast outside of individuals that transship themselves.
Have to be an LFS to get in touch with them? I'll probably look for somebody local to pick one up and QT it for me for a nice premium.
Be careful with copper and wrasses, these guys are incredibly sensitive to it IME.Hello - here's my coming to the wrasse lover's club with a pair of leopard wrasse - they have been in quarantine for 1 week and finally started eating (somewhat) i plan to start copper in the next couple days and run Hay's protocol
one thing i learned - they are hard to photograph
I second that. Leopard wrasse and copper are not a great combo. Their thick slime coats and sand sleeping mean they are resistent to skin parasites so the most Id do is a prazipro treatment.Hello - here's my coming to the wrasse lover's club with a pair of leopard wrasse - they have been in quarantine for 1 week and finally started eating (somewhat) i plan to start copper in the next couple days and run Hay's protocol

She/he is transitioning, right? Will go more green in the face? How far along?And a bonus of my leopard
This.
Those fish just don't ship well no matter the vendor. My importers niche is wrasses, and he really wont touch any of those listed, unless requested and customer understands the risks involved.
You need to get in with a LFS, and have them order what you want. QM dosent sell to the public. Its kinda a process to even get a wholesale acct with them.
We have to agree to disagree. I'm still firm they are hard to ship, for just the reason you said.
