I was thinking of jumping on it but I didn't pull the trigger. Congrats on the pickup.

You taking a day off from work? I know I would, or at least work from home
off half day... lights don't come on til late afternoon... so I won't miss much... he'll be on an acclimation box so none of the other wrasses will mess with him... :)

go for it bro... it's cheaper too... LoLz... I'll be ordering two female Rhomboids and a Laboutei sometime this month too... then, probably just gonna wait for the Pin Tail, if it ever goes on sale... :)

Both of those wrasses are wow! Congrats on the diamond tail!
for sure... I'm happy that I'll have one of them... :)

Great catch! how $ was he?
around $200 shipped... :)

package came around 9:00 am... hopefully, everything will be alright from here... water was kinda cold when he arrived... I'm sure he's just lethargic from the trip.. when I tried to hold him for the pic, he did start moving and even tried to jump so that's a good sign.. I'll see how he's doing and if the other wrasses are acknowledging his presence when I get home from work... I'm just happy that I finally have an acclimation box so I don't have to worry about the newcomers being bullied... :)

acclimation box, with Evin's toys on the background... LoLz...

hopefully, I'll have a vid of him swimming around later tonight... :bigsmile: he's a good size, probably 2" - 2 1/2"... :)

Thanks man... I hope so... :)

well, just called the wifey and he's still lethargic... but kinda swimming around... hopefully just adjusting still... lights have been on for about an hour by now...

I already e-mailed LA DD for an update so they know what's going on with the fish as well...
