    Mr. & Mrs. Hawaiian Flame Wrasses arrived today on flight from Hawaii.

    They are now in quarantine at the LFS. He called me on their arrival and I immediatly went down for a visit.

    What a gorgeous pair of fish.

    Will send some pics when they get in home tank.

    Sorry, I don't often get to add fish to my tank and I get overly excited! ;D

    :( :( :(

    Went down to LFS today to check on my newly arrived flame wrasses.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: was shocked to find the female missing from tank (usually deaders to neighboring shark tank) --- the male's fins were all ragged and frayed - don't know if from other fish or has some kind of fin rot disease.

    Owner was not in today so was unable to see if he knew problem.

    Thank goodness I had forsight to leave them in his tank instead of immediatly bringing them home as was my first inclination.

    Am quite sad for fish, but think I will be getting a refund and will be first on wait list for next arrivals.

    :( :( :(
