    Very true, even some of the more trusted vendors dont QT and Medicate their fish. I could list a few but Ill relax a bit.

    If you are ordering from divers den, you are ordering a pampered and trained fish.

    TheSaltwaterGuy- I hope when you say the 1200 $ cardinalfish, you're not referring to the Trio of Johnson Fairy Wrasses... I have yet to see them put any kind of group of cardinal fish over 200$ up. lol

    DD fish are 100% worth the price. I've ordered fish that are known to be hard to get eating and acclimated to aquarium life from them, and I never have an issue. Healthy, happy and eating right away. They are amazing to their livestock. You get what you pay for.

    I also count 6 lines on him. I prefer the looks of the more colorful sixline, but to be fair to the fourline I've never seen one in person. I didn't think adult dragon wrasse looked very good in pictures either but my petco had one once and he looked awesome.

    Kinda crude, especially since I'm not used to gimp with a touchpad but that should help. :)

    I have a four line (12 line same thing) four line are a bit more agressive then 6 line and will eat any thing smaller then they are for the most part, they can become good community fish but it will take time- be careful mixing them with other like size wrasses, (here coloration doesnt matter) they get pretty agressive when this happens- I sold my mcorksters for this very reason.

    Oh and BTW, I think the 4 line has a pointer (sp?) snout then the 6 line- could just be my particlar fish tho.

    Edit: one thing I forgot to mention, they like lots of live rock.
