    EMERGENCY Melanurus Wrasse Not doing well.

    backstory very quickly, a week ago I got the bright idea of buying a pot for my clowns in my main DT so they can maybe lay eggs in it and I can hatch them, I boiled the pot for about 10 minutes and let it dry and tossed it in. Simultaneously I realized my magnesium was down to 1080 which is not...

    Melanurus Wrasse Lockjaw?

    Hi all- I made a post a few days ago discussing my Melanurus wrasse, and one thing I mentioned was his mouth. Ever since getting him and introducing him into his quarantine tank, his mouth had been open. I looked all over online and apparently this is called “lock jaw”, and stems from an injury...

    What is this? Blows off like Cyano, but is is Cyano?

    New Critter ID

    By best guess is a baby flat worm based on images that I’ve seen from other people. Maybe a pod? if not, it’s my best excuse to pull the trigger and get a melanurus.

    Melanarus wrasse gill problem

    My 1.5 year old melanarus wrasse has developed some sort of problem on only his right gill, seen in the pictures below. There also seems to be some sort of inflammation inside that gill. Otherwise he seems healthy and is eating and behaving normally. No other fish have any problems, and there...

    Would a golden dwarf morray work in this setup?

    I am looking to see if a golden dwarf morray eel would work in the setup I have now. It is a 32 gallon biocube, I have 2 clowns and a small melanurus wrasse (he’s small now and I am rehoming him when he gets too big). Would the tank be too small to sustain him? Liveaquaria says 30 is min but...

    White/Grey mark on melanarus wrasse

    Thismorning I noticed a white mark on my melanarus wrasse and on close inspection it’s about 2mm deep and it got bigger overnight. Any ideas what it is? It’s not behaving any differently but it is eating algae but it’s always done that.
