I was very fortunate to have picked this guy up from LiveAquaria (DD)... I've been waiting for it... I couldn't be any happier... :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Interesting reads...

Blue Harbor shows off why Attenuatus flasher wrasses are HOT!

Paracheilinus attenuatus, the diamond tail flasher wrasse shows up at Old Town Aquarium

obviously, pic is from LiveAquaria (DD)

I was so nervous I was gonna be too slow to pay but I'm happy I made it on time... so, I thought I would share my excitement... LoLz... :hammer:

Super fish Marvin. Cant wait to see pictures of him in your tank. Be careful with those little guys, they are masters at jumping out.

Thanks guys... :)

I've wanted a flasher that you don't see everyday and the Attenuatus was on top of my list... I couldn't believe it when I saw it on DD... and was more surprised that I was able to snatch him... :D

I'll be doing a complete check up on my back netting to make sure there's no area he can jump out... he'll be in an acclimation box for a week or two... Thanks for the reminder Brad... :)

I still need a Pin Tail fairy wrasse (Splendid)... :wink:

Find 2 of them and we'll go in together on them. :bigsmile: I would love to find a splendid.

I almost got my hands on a feminius anampses 2 weeks ago, but they sold it hours before I got the chance.

a buddy told me about a Feminius also but I wasn't confident on keeping one... they sold one shortly after my buddy told me about it... I just don't have experience with that family of wrasses...

but it'll be awesome to find a Splendid... :bigsmile:
