Have any of you guys tried an exquisite wrasse? I can't find much first hand information on them. Mostly I want to know if they get aggressive like a scotts, long fin, etc.

Seems to be the only green fairy wrasse (fiji) out there.

I had one a while back but didn't keep it since it lost a lot of color over time. :(

didn't seem too aggressive like the Scott's. I believe that they don't get as the Scott's as well.

Took a couple more pictures yesterday to share. The colors are cool with the reflection off the top of the water.

And I thought this picture turned out nice for a change of pace.

Man the first two photos look crazy with the amount of colors there are. It's almost a full rainbow back there!

Same here, got rid of mine as there were others I wanted instead. He was not aggressive at all.

No idea when my new setup is going to be ready now.

:hammer:

but if I ever see a hybrid Linespot x Angulatus, that is a different beast. my bro said he's seen them around where he used to dive in the Philippines. I swear all these awesome wrasses that are on the rarer side come from our waters. Rosefascia and the like (diamond tails) are found in Cebu, which is a tourist spot. I wonder how fishes from Philippines get to the continental US? hmmmmm..... maybe, I'll have to ask my bro's connection. :wink:

I've been keeping a stern eye on the DD updates for a Diamond Tail, haha. Thats one fish that I REALLY want right now. Hopefully they can come up with some more.

I couldn't take it any longer. I picked up the large Royal flasher that's been on DD for the last week and also picked up the smaller royal. Along with the super male sumatrun Debulas fairy.
