The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Superchargers?

Buick Grand National all the way!

 

[i cant think]

We’ve got the 3rd wrasse added to the collection now! Currently in the bag travelling home… guess what she is (p.s. this is the most excited I think I've ever been for a wrasse).
I have dropped hints over the last week so it shouldn’t be *too* difficult

I used to take my dad's '86 GN to the 1/4 mile track in high school.

Choati and pair of twisti?

My father-in-law lived next door to the Arizona Buick Grand National Club president. As a GM mechanic he worked on almost every Grand National in the Phoenix and Tucson area and went to the races when most of them were running. My wife got to sit in the pits for a lot of 1/4 drag races when she was younger.

Choati and pair of twisti?

Well, it’s one of those options, but which would I be more excited about?

I sat in the pits a lot, raced a few times. Got kicked out after running a 12 w/o a roll cage.

Choats, for sure

Choats, for sure

I love Twistii (especially the last pair I had) but I’ve got to say this choati baby is pretty exciting.

Up and about now she’s woken up

I’ve seen my Hologymnosus do it once but other than that never! It’s odd seeing it, also that lyretail hog is just stunning.

Up and about now she’s woken up

She went down and into the sand instantly as you can imagine. Guess it’s a case of let’s see if she rises tomorrow!
Now I am wondering what tank to move my camera to… keep it on the big tank or move it to the nanos

 

[Slocke]

Spitting??

Kind of. More like blowing

Thanks!
I tried out my new orphek phones lenses on it yesterday
Not as good as the real camera but better then usual

Before I get the fish medics involved, wondering if any of you can tell what's going on with Carpenter's eye. I'm thinking neobendenia flukes...

 

[PR_nano]

neobendenia flukes...

It does look like it.

 

[JoJosReef]

It does look like it.

Got some prazipro on me and will start a full display treatment, I think. Do you know if they need to be freshwater dipped before starting Prazi?

 

[PR_nano]

Do you know if they need to be freshwater dipped before starting Prazi?

I was reading a thread this morning that Jay responded and he mentioned that it does provide some relief to the fish prior to the treatment. I would, if you can easily catch it.

Added a couple new wrasses to QT, can’t wait for them to make it into the 300g display.

Look at this little guy! He's probably only an inch and a half and already transitioning to make!

Sure is skinny though.

No, it's transitioning to a female. Females are the ones with the black and white checkerboard pattern and yellow on the tail and dorsal fin. Males would be at least 20cm+, and they are usually blue, green with pink lines.
