This is a great thread! Everyones photos are stunning! I think I'm def getting a couple more fairy wrasses for my tank, it's one thing to look on line at these fish, another to see them in everyones tanks! Thanks for sharing and feeding the addiction!

A very inquisitive fish. Becoming one of my favorite fish in the tank.

Hand down my wrasses ( lubbocks, yellow 4 spot and ornate ) are by far my favorite fish . At least once a week i hear a splash , thud as my lubbocks bounces off the plexi top , so open top is a definite no go.

Yes, and once bitten, it causes the victim to trade Visa cards and cash for colourful little fish while in a zombie-like state. Victims stand helplessly in front of LFS tanks, drooling and mumbling "wrasse, wrasse" (instead of "brains, brains"). Its highly contagious. I recommend you get yourself innoculated, thus leaving more wrasses for ME!!!!:twised::lol:

Here's my picture contribution. Only have 1 wrasse; its a McCoskers. Its a great fish, eats everything and takes it from the surface, mid water and the bottom. Likes to display to the firefish and neon gobies (hopes to get cleaned but the neons don't seem to want to do any cleaning!). The white specks in the last photos are food particles.

Here's an article on Fairy Wrasses by Scott W. Michael that some of you wrasse-aficionadoes might appreciate. Unfortunately, its purely text with no pretty pictures to go with the descriptions.
