Alex's 125 (15ft of tanks of the wall)

He actually looks pretty big, compared to the other fish.

Very colorful.

 

Very colorful and active fish. Makes me want a wrasse (or two) so bad.. good job containing it!

 

He is super colorful. As the night continues the biggest aggressor is my clown of all thing. God I hate clowns. She has been very chill the last 14 months. Also my Yellowtail Blue Damsel took the first aggressive action I have seen in 3 years.

As for size, Its the smallest wrasse in there (my flasher hasn't been out all day, which generally is a terrible sign) which is why i decided to take the chance. The Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura and the Cirrhilabrus solorensis are similarly shaped, so there is a bigger risk, but with the solorensis being slightly more aggressive and smaller and newer... I figured give it a shot. I bet its all fine by tomorrow.

My H. Melarunus was SUPER ticked lol. Anyway thanks need to go out to Hunter as always for mentoring me through my wrasse addiction. The new 125 might have a Cirrhilabrus lineatus, Cirrhilabrus jordani, or both, though that might not be 'doable"

 

I like to drop the box lower in the water, tip it, and let them swim out on their own. Less stress this way.

 

I agree. unfortunately my design did not allow that option. I wish I would have just left it open and let him leave on his own. Lights start coming on in 10 minutes so I'm excited to see how everybody treats him today.

If there is more than a hint of aggression he will probably go to Shin or Tom's tanks.

 

Oh i can open the top. just not tip it.

 

Very pretty fish, looks like that box you made worked out really well.

 

Yeah the box is pretty nice, I still with I hadn't cracked one side though lol.

 

Tank is looking really good Alex. Beautiful black tang. I miss my black tang.

 

Tank's looking good. Congrats on the new wrasse.
