Just wanted to update everyone on this fish, still very happy and fat. From looking at the pictures from the 1st page of this thread to now, it is noticeable how much fuller her belly is. She is still eating Mysis and Nori. It's been about 7 months since I've had her now.

I had one scare when I checked on my tank one night, she was laying, motionless on the sand. I thought she died and I went to scoop her out, turned out she was sleeping. I'm not sure who was more scared, the fish or a half sleep reefer realizing he has a zombie fish...

i have had the same cleaner wrasse for over a year now and he is healthy and great

Yeah Mine is still going strong as well...I have it for close to a year myself and was in a previous tank for at least that as well....

For those with cleaner wrasses... when first introduced did they take long to acclimate to the tank and swim around?

MIne came from someone elses tank so he acclimated very quickly, not sure how "newer" ones would do...

But from what I have read and such they are a lot like copperbands, many are very difficult to acclimate to a tank. Which is also why a lot of people do not reccomned getting them as the usually do not fare well....

But there is a lot of information in forums to be read and everyones tank & experiences are different....

I put mine in a tank with ick so he fed off the fish for a bit then he started eating. Nori and mysis

Mine was in a store tank full of a shoal of Chromis. He was swimming with the shoal and was very active, has been like that since I added him. Minor issue with the Sixline to start off with, but overall it's been great.

Again, I don't recommend everyone go and buy one, due to various reasons, however for the few that find a healthy, eating, active one that are rarely available from a store or from another reefer, they can be a great fish to have.

lol ...wow i had a good laugh there ... that was a joke right? i hope all 6 tangs are sailfins too :p

wow I have 2 tangs is 165 gal and they fight all the time
