    My Leopard Wrasse is still doing awesome!! He has even taken to eating pellets! He is eating like a hog, it is so hilarious to see him wait in front of the powerhead waiting for pellets to fall into powerhead and blast him in the face with his mouth open, its very comical. Oh and btw I only feed them pellets in between there marine fusion cube feedings to cut down on bioload.

    congrats dumbderk

    I know how you feel
    I have a Black Leapord wrasse that I saw eat in the shop, that still gave me 3 days of worry in my tank before deciding he/she liked it enough to eat there

    its a good feeling when they become the 1st fish to the food every time

    My leopard is a big ole fatty too. They don't stop eating I swear it's kind of funny. You have a male or female?

    My leopard wrasse was more of a diverse eater than any fish I have ever owned. It loved nori and coralline...

    It is a female leopard wrasse, I just loved the white background with black spots with the fiery fins with black spots.
