Wrasse?

[Breakthecycle2]

Ok thanks for the info. Any experience or info on the red hed solon wrasse?

It's also called a soleransis Wrasse. I had one. Pretty fish, but at the price they go for, you could do something with more color. I'd stay away from the Lubocks.

$30-$40 Online. About like the melenarus. Ive looked through liveaquaria and bluezoo. Anymore site recomendations?

Like what?

How about a royal pencil wrasse (Pseudojuloides severnsi)?

I have a red head salon and he has been no trouble, very active and helps keep the Anthias in line.

mcCoskers flasher, Line spot flasher, Long fin fairy, Exquisite, Blue flasher, Yellowfin flasher,

Ive already had a mccoskers. It was a real nice fish. Dont really want a flasher this time. What do yall think about the melanarus with a CUC? Also the red head solon.

Melanurus eats like a pig but great fish and always hunting. Price wise can't be beat.

Im trying to get a melanarus. If not i may go with the 'clown' red head solon or a royal pencil maybe.

 

[paul87]

Anyone have exp. with a royal pencil wrasse or another type of pencil wrasse?

 

[Breakthecycle2]

I think the issue I'm seeing is, while these wrasse's you are suggesting are "ok" in your tank, I would think they would just get too big. I would get something that stays under 4".

What about a coris wrasse. I have a yellow one that is very peaceful and is in and out of the rock work most of the day when the lights are on.

 

[Daniel Fishy]

From what i heard pencil wrasses are hard to keep ,my lfs had one and he told me not to buy it. Yellow coris is also a good choice.

What about the mystery wrasse? I think it's a beautiful fish, but I've read mixed things about it eating shrimp and other inverts. I have a cleaner shrimp that is about 2.5 inches long, some blue-legged hermit crabs and a lot of dwarf cerith, nassarius, nerite and astrea snails in a 60 gallon cube. Will the wrasse eat all of the above creatures? It will probably be the last fish I add.

So they had an exquisite fairy wrasse on the list of possible orders at the LFS. They couldnt get the melanurus. But i gave the ok to order it so i should have it friday! Not sure what it will look like but it is from austrailia.

Look it up on dr f&s the should have pics of it

I've seen four different variations due to location but none listed as australian. I think it's pretty much just going to be a surprise With the exquisite wrasse anyway.

 

[Breakthecycle2]

They are from Fiji or the solomn islands. These are they "Australian" version
