Solarensis Wrasse

I went to That Fish Place In Lancaster PA and picked up a Solarensis Wrasse which looks rally nice. This will be my 3rd one of this species. I had 2 others at separate times that both died. I realized after the 2nd dies that it was the Royal Gramma. These Fairy Wrasse do not do good with territorial fish. I'll post pics maybe tommorrow. I was going to order a fish from Foster and Smith but I was nervous due to the weather here.

F&S ships pretty good as they put heat packs in the containers.

 

Congrats on the new fish and GL with this one!

 

Thanks! He looked clean in the store and ate and so far in my tank he is acting normal. I have to get some screen just in case maybe for 2 weeks or so to see how he acts. I really don't have any other fish that would make him want to jump though.

Ah solarensis!! Beauty of a fish, make sure he eats and doesn't jump and you should be fine. Its the initial week or so that is rough. I think it was in your best interest to pick up locally as wrasses fairies in particular are awful shippers!! Solars are one of them, if I get some in and look at them wrong they are belly up in the bag!!

Good luck and enjoy him!

 

hey adam did they finish there new tanks yet ? is the big coral tank all set up again filled end to end with coral?

a couple weeks ago they had half the coral tank filled with coral, they had moved it over to where the wall was with all the snail tanks was (the tore that wall down)

 

They are still working on the room at That Fish Place. I think the other side will be for ponds. Tonight I can not see the Wrasse. I have a large brownish/white Mithrax Crab. Could they harm a fish. Does anyone have a mithrax crab? I get worried if I don't see my new fish after a day. I have had
fish go to the back of the tank in back of the rocks and die.
