Great update! Really happy she's doing so well. Looking forward to seeing her in person soon.

Hunter, excuse me if I missed it, but, is there a complete wrasse list of the ones in your tank, in your thread somewhere? If not, could we get one?

Any trouble with the Lineatus and the Rhomboids?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Gorgeous addition!!

Dang, I'm sooooo jealous of you now! Sweet fish!

Thank you!

My kuiteri was on about the same schedule when I first got her. It took a while before she would stay up past 5

I'm up to 7PM now, and getting up a little later as well. Improvement!

No worries. This one is still valid: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/la...0g-dsa-reef-wrasse-retreat-6.html#post1696603

For the couple years I had a Lineatus with a Rhomboid, no serious issue. They'd squabble a bit, but nothing which concerned me.

I lost the rhomboid without warning about 6 months ago; most likely was a developmental problem. It happens sometimes when they're mid-aged.

Gorgeous addition!!

Thanks Krista!

That is the most beautiful fish I believe I've ever seen!

Hunter, do you treat routinely for ich or observe? My Lineatus is finished with 2 rounds of Prazi and 6 weeks total QT time. Thinking about two more weeks of observation and the putting him in the acclimation box.

beautiful fish! congrats on getting closer to placement in the DT. I didn't realize you needed to coax/train wrasses to stay awake longer.

Thank you.
I don't treat for ich unless it arises in QT. I QT for a minimum of 6 weeks; long enough for it to appear if it's present.

Oh my...

Thanks Darwin.

It's more of a matter of shifting their schedule. It's no different than you traveling to a different time zone.

your tank looks great! I got my 190 Pro sitting in my office right now waiting for the stand. How do you like the DSA stand?

19 months later, and no complaints.
Thanks!

how often to wrasses need to be fed to keep them healthy?

~3 times/day

How do you handle adjusting his sleeping schedule, or does that just kind of happen on its own as he gets used to your light schedule?

The latter, yes. The QT is next to the DT, and I try to limit the ambient light in the room.

 

[fishroomlady]

thanks for the info!
