Leopard Wrasse?

[paul87]

Very nice score on that fish beautiful one she is. And yesget a screen top on that tank if you can and if you have an overflow you will need to rig something up to keep them from getting in there. I just lst my redhead solon fairy wrasse to some how getting into the overflow and getting stuck between the pipe and the plastic.
This is what I rigged up so whrn I go and get another wrasse he or she won't end up lime that one.

Thanks. I have covering and the overflow box is covered. Ive had a wrasse or two...lol.

Do you have any pictures of how you got your overflow covered?

I covered it with eggrate and cut a thick mil. rectangle of plastic off a container. Superglued it to the eggcrate right were it sits over the overflow box. I can take pics when i get back in town. Heres pics of cover and overflow box. I realize eggcrate isnt the best choice for small fish but it stopped my mccoskers, sixline, and dottyback.

I have the eggcrate cut into 3 pieces so i can just take the front panels off and overflow stays covered.
