black leopard wrasse

Nice grabs steve. I had three but lost mine and i pretty much knew it was because i qt'd them instead of putting them straight into the dt.

 

Thanks ReefBruh
sorry you lost your trio - they are very interesting fish

yes the bit about not travelling well and not being moved about
did worry me

Steve

 

What do you guess happened in QT?

 

Very nice fish buddy. Congrats!!!

I'd wait on a flasher and add one towards the end. Sometimes the flashers don't take well to new tankmates. I've heard this, but never witnessed nor had a problem with it myself. Christmas or radient sounds good to me.

That's really close to the size of tank I keep, 60x20x24. 5 in there will be quite comfortable. I have 6 wrasses (I've had up to 7 at a time), 3 anthias, 2 clowns.

 

Thank you Computer John

Thats good news evolved

I did the math based on tank size and it was between 4 and 5 that I could fit in and 4 is not a lucky number in China, so I want to have 5 if possible

How's the fish? got him eating yet?

 

Im certain its eating kss2801
Ive seen it take pellets, I have seen it take a couple of bloodworm
and its pecking at cyclopeze

but it does depend on all of these items being close to or on the rockwork
it has not yet come into open water to eat anything

it does however come into open water to see what the Canary is up to
and does seem interested in what the Canary is finding to eat there

(The irony being, its exactly the same foods just in different places)

Steve

 

Well it's great that he's eating. He hasn't been in the tank that long so he should get over his shyness with some time.
I think having the canary there, swimming in the open should hasten the process.
Good luck keeping this beautiful fish.

 

Well , not ideal I know, but its a start
day 4 in my reef tank and the Leopard has responded to bloodworm and will search for them in open water now
tried to capture an image of the fish in the act of consumption, took about 20 images and the fish only shows up fully in 2 of them. the rest are either blurrs or of an empty tank space where a Wrasse was just before I pressed the button
