    I like those too, but they don't need a huge tank really. I would keep one ina 75g at minimum though.

    I finally got my 4" radiant wrasse a few weeks back. These are difficult to get, as the Africans like to fight instead of collect these amazing fish. It quickly has become my favorite fish in the tank, even though my sailfin tang is one of my favorites.

    Yeah, I would have guessed they need about 100 since they get so huge. There are so many huge wrasses that are absolutely gorgeous. One day I will have some!

    Not sure if this fish is what your looking for, but I have a Yellow Coris wrasse and love him. I have had him for about a month with no problems. Really nice looking fish, yellow with black dots. The wrasse should max out at about 5inches and I have him in a 55g lightly stocked. The wrasse seems to be a very good cleaner and swims a ton. One word of caution though. When the fish is freightened it will bury itself, so make sure you have sand.

    Also just found this out about two weeks ago. The Yellow Coris wrasse is not really a Coris wrasse. But, it is still a bueatiful fish!

    Yeah, those are nice halichoeres wrasses. IMHO, it is nicer looking than the green coris (not a coris wrasse either). Maybe I should just call the yellow and the green wrasses like this Halichoeres and not call them what most do, because they are simply not coris wrasses?

    Yeah horkn, your right. I did find when doing some research that the Yellow Coris wrasse is also called a Yellow Canary wrasse. So I guess that's what I will start calling it.
