Sorry but I will disagree with you about the prettiest. Look up the roseafascia, shutmani, earlei, nahackyi. The isosceles, Johnsoni, katherinae, rubeus, rhomboidalis…. There are so many and in a 180 you could do most and add more than one.

Whoops, got out a bit too excited there

Di you get the pintail? I need to get on my lfs.
No
If I had the room but I really don’t especially with the lunatus. Sad though because I’m sure that the last time I’ll see one at that price.

I had a pintail kill a male lineatus. I have an earl that rips apart my flashers. I can tell more like this. Don’t believe what you read and well about the pretty ones being jerk I choose not to answer.

I mean I was being ironic as the Melanurus does not like the lunare and a tank with a lunare, dragon, and coris is crazy. But hey maybe my current phase of alternative blue grass is confusing my wrasse too much for them to be angry.

What a point of sale. You better send that flame over here and I will work on his attitude for you.

/lol, point of sale
He was only surviving wrasse when I lost them. He went through copper then I moved him to a 20 because my display had copper and he jumped. He spent the better of two years in a 20 for being a jerk. He went for kill no small bites or chasing. I was offered a lot of money for him multiple times. I should have taken the money
 

i cant think

We are polar opposites with our luck and wrasses!
My ‘jerks’ are/have been peaceful, not one of these guys is a terror to others, if anything my most aggressive is my iridis. My shyest and yet most hand biting is my Flavidorsalis.

So far I feel like I’ve had pretty good luck. Just that awful experience with a hortulanus that went rogue and murdered two fish in as many days. Of course I still have the murderous hawkfish and most of my wrasse are still young. And this morning the Melanurus is happy with the lunare so all good there.
