Melanurus Wrasse

oh no! how did the die

 

No someone else bought them... wasnt fast enough.

 

ohhhhhh i thought you had them! that sucks! im so sorry

 

DD is just a frustratinge experience!!!

 

I think the melanurus is pretty hard to find. So I'd just try it Tracy!

 

yea i love the melanurus i just hope it behaves with my other fish, mainly flash and princess, clowns can hold their own

 

i have a melanurous in my 55. i love it. it survived my ich outbreak back in October (only fish that did). although i have suspected that it has picked on my hermits a couple times i have never been close enough to catch it red handed. they definitely need a DSB. when i first brought it home it dove into the sand and didnt see it again for 3 days. after a couple weeks he was very active. he also sleeps in the sand When i added a yellow wrasse there was a little "tension" between the 2 for maybe 2 days, but now follow each other around. very active eater, anything i put in the tank (flakes, mysis, pellets).
i have tons of dwarf certh snails, never bothers them. They are supposedly good for vermetid snails, but wont touch any in my tank so i wouldnt rec getting one to control them specifically.

anyways....i would rec the fish to anyone
i might take a picture after my girlfriend goes to bed. she always makes fun of me for taking pictures of my tank.

 

oh yeah, i have since added a regular and purple firefish. never bothered them from day one.

pre-ich outbreak i had him, sleeper goby, and royal gramma. got along great with them too.

 

Gotta be fast on the draw with the wallet dude. I think Mine sometimes wonders off and buys stuff on it's own now, stuff just arrives all the time

Melanurus are very pretty wrasse!

 

good to know, so hopefully with being the last additon to the tank he wont pick on m McCoskers, and glad to hear he is behaving

and i would LOVE to see pics this makes me more confident i will order on monday.

is their any color difference between male and female?
