wrasse question pg 7

I dont see a problem with keeping a small yellow tang in a 75. It will need to be placed in a bigger tank when It reaches adult size so if you dont like the idea of having to either upgrade your tank or find the guy a new home then I wouldnt do it. Also, Yellow tangs are pretty hardy when it comes to tangs. I never had a problem with ich on my yellow tang. We have more problems with powder blue tangs at the store I work. I have a small yellow in my 65g. He's been in there about a year and he is just now getting big enough for me to relocate to a bigger tank.

Just my 2 cents. I understand why people get heated over keeping tangs in less than ideal tank sizes, but If I were a tang, I would rather be in a 75g with really clean water than a 300 gallon with nasty water. And working at a LFS I test water everyday, and to put it simply it disgusts me how many people have horrible water parameters.

 

Wrasse! Shes still to fast for me to get a good picture!

 

I would love to see more wrasse pics but I still love the white tail

 

Just ordered Male Solar Fairy Wrasse!



Flame Wrasse Male

 

the more I look into it the more a wrasse seemd to fit better in my tank, not giving up on the tang dream but just postponing for a bit ;D

which wrasse would go well with anthis fish?

 

Get a flasher! Most of them are cool and docile!

Live Aquaria

 

Flashers/Tamarins/Leopards - IME are more docile when kept in their solos pairs trios etc

Fairies and Halios are more feisty with other wrasses.

 

its funny the two sugestions I got both have tangs for there avatar

the Leopard Wrasse will it try and out do the manderin for pods?

McCosker's Flasher Wrasse looks really really cool how are they?

 

I have a leopard wrasse and yes they would stongly compete for pods,but they're awesome fish.

 

Nah on the leopards, pod killer and it hides ALL the time according to fellow reefers Grinder and Ingtar I believe
Mcoskeris a good call filamented and carpenters are cool too!
