She is fast and she tries to be sneaky. Don’t let her looks fool you she is scared and living alone. She wants company but once that day comes she wont be happy

Explain. That was not purchased in some back alleyway was it. It's hard to tell with all these orange females.

Sorry to correct you but according to ReefPro that’s a leopard wrasse not a Halichoeres. ;) :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
LOL Reef Pro doesn’t even sell fish anymore… their site says it’s temporary but it’s been weeks so I guess we’ll see

All my fish are cash at NJ rest stops. Everyone I thought knew. Google NJ rest stop governor it says it all.

Taken care of the problem I told them about in November they created. I offered to sex viviens and clean their nasty systems. Also offered to teach them how to qt fish they swear can’t be qt’ed. they should have taken me up on the offer since they killed a lot of fish and lost lots of money

That’s easy. I’ll sell all dead fish to you for price of shipping without water
Sounds like a good deal… do you guarantee my fish will arrive dead? I’m not interested unless there’s a guarantee

Old dirty sand in ship bag. Great way to kill a fish but reef pro knows best. Look at this fish rotting away. It was long dead before shipping but they charged and sent anyway. The other $2,700 in fish they killed in a few days. Had fish by 9 am it was a short travel but yet made it from around the world fine

Hey Wrasse Lovers,

I purchased two yellow coris wrasses from LFS last friday, drip acclimated them, all good, released in tank...poof, they gone in sand somewhere or hidden in rocks of my 190gal. I know people say that they can go MIA for a week or longer, but is there anything I can do?

I have shined with flashlight at night after lights out, and I cannot see any evidence of them, its just driving me crazy! You would think that they would be hungry or something, any thoughts?
Man ohhhhhh man, I thought y’all were crazy!!! Bought yellow coris wrasse last Friday at 4pm, dude just came out for feeding time like no big deal, crazy!!! Still waiting on one more to appear!

You know what was worse than me losing money on a dead fish from PeefRo? I spent a week keeping a half dead fish alive. I was so close to hiring a fish vet to come do an expensive surgery to try and save it.
That fish cost a lot more then the money I lost and all I got in return was a gift card that didn’t work and to spend far too much time with the worst customer service.

Edit: fixed it. No one will no who I’m talking about.

Part of the fun. If fish are acclimated to our time they can adjust instantly or quick. Some fish are worse than others and tank mates play into how long they hide.
Embrace it, it’s part of the fun and excitement

The circle talk is what they do. It’s what all liars do. Sorry. I was out 700 and they after an hour arguing said they will credit me. They only credit me 199. Waiting on a trip to parents then I’ll stop by like I told them to collect the rest

Don’t worry. It was in the form of a gift card that expired in 3 weeks which they didn’t tell me about. I did use it to buy a fish that was listed as in stock but by the time I inquired about where the **** my fish was they told me it was in fact out of stock (obviously waiting a few days to respond to each email) and by that time it had expired and they stopped talking to me. So congratulations CoralAdept you got me there.
