    :( Grr, I am so bummed, just missed the potter's leopard wrasse on DD today. Sold in literally seconds, couldn't even get through checkout before it was gone.

    Just needed to vent, as I was thoroughly bummed out.

    You're better off. Keeping a female potters is hard enough; you don't ever see males for a reason.

    And rare wrasses often sell in less than 5 seconds on DD. :)

    Yah I noticed. Lol. How about a kuiter's leopard? That's also on the list too hunt down. Think we're gonna replace a couple of the fairies I have now with a pair of flame wrasses too since my girl saw em in a store and was sold. Thinking of going through Pacific island aquatics. Yay or nay?

    Yay, flames are nice. But watch out for more than one female turning male.

    I have heard good things about Pacific Island Aquatics.

    Kuiter's are extremely hard to get ahold of these days; good luck with that. :)

    Big yay on PIA. Kevin and Dan know what they're doing.

    This happens quite a bit with flames. Happened to me with the pair I had. The two did spar a little, but they did manage to work things out. It's just something to keep an eye on if it happens.

    Ouch, hopefully you'll be able to snag one soon! Sucks when they only come around every so often.

    Did not think of that, since I was gonna go for just a pair, thanks for the heads up!

    Cool. One more good experience to take note of. Thanks!

    Good to know it could work out okay. Supposedly I have a buddy who can get a Kuiter's drop shipped for me, but I am not sure I am really excited about that idea. I would much prefer to get my leopards from somewhere like DD, might be harder to get, but reliable. Although for 20 bucks, I may order a potters through PIA when I snag those flame wrasses. Think it is worth the risk? I know they ship like crap, and are super finicky, but I am hoping for a fighter!

    Thanks all.

    You can speak to Kevin/Dan about that. Honestly, you've got about a 25% of it working out with a Potter's.
