I recommend you get yourself innoculated, thus leaving more wrasses for ME!!!!:twised::lol:

Mine actually bit me today, most of the time swims by my hand or rubs against my fingers, very curious, but I had my back turned moving something in the corner of the tank and he bit the back of my arm. First fish bite :lol:
Scared me! Hoping to grab a mystery wrasse tomorrow!! Hear it now...."wrasse, wrasse"

If you get a chance stop in at the store and ask Shaun or Chris to show you the purple wrasse in with the Kuiter's. He looks almost identical to yours. He came in as a temeniki but I'm not so sure if it is or not. I've been trying to get a pic but he's impossible to photograph.

daniella3d 03-19-2012 07:06 PM

I have been bitten but can't fall sick because I have both tanks that are top less so no can do.

Wrasses love to jump. Plus, the only wrasse I have ever had were agressive little bastard...a checkerboard that was attacking my pajama cardinal and a yellow wrasse that could not suffer my mandarins...so that did it for me and the wrasseholes.

daniella3d 03-19-2012 07:07 PM

I would love to have one like this for my nano...are they jumper too?

Yeah, they can be jumpers so my tank will have a screen top made in the next couple days with 1/4" mesh. So far he's content in my new 8' with a couple other small fish that don't harass him so he hasn't jumped.
He's super cute but he freaked me out when I brought him home. While acclimating he "played possum" I thought he had kicked the bucket but nope he was pretending :lol:

Yes, if only wrasses weren't so suicidal or skittish.

Wow, love your long fin fairy- I had one he was one of my faves; I had to trade him in for a less aggressive mckosker flasher. But when I get my larger tank a long fin will definetly be in my mix of fish fo sho!!
And an eightline flasher WOW...I have never heard of someone actually having one. They are very hard to come by IMO. Beautiful fish.
I presently have:
Filament flasher
Mckosker flasher
Carpenters flasher
Blue flasher

Thank you, the long fin is the runt of my wrasses and was very timid at first but has come around nicely and is always out swimming with the bigger guys & gals.

I agree, eight line's are definitely a rare find. I'm glad to have him. His fins are so huge and stunning compared to other flashers.

I'm hopeful that my with time my female long tail will turn male. I'm contemplating bringing home the last remaining female at the store in hopes of making a pair.

Rosefascia/long fin wrasse
 
I really loved this rosefascia wrasse. It was always following me around when I did tank maintenance. When I got it,it was so tiny,it would get blown around in the current. I had it for about 4 years,then it developed some kind of parasite(stringy poop) and stopped eating and passed on. Hoping I can get another.You can see my Rosescales on the bottom right.
