I'm not on my speaking or picture terms with my 6line since I think he scared my McCoskers right out of the tank.. :cry: I never even got a chance to get a picture of my McCoskers! :mad:

Sorry to hear about your McCosers :sad: ............. my fore line was evil too!
But no no no not anymore! :twised:

Lunare wrasse

Nice Checkerboard Laurie.
How big is your Lunare? And how is it for aggression? Apparently, they can get quite nasty when they get to a certain size. Mine is about 6" (no wise-cracks people), and is starting to get a little belligerent with some of the smaller fishes. If the Tuskfish didn't keep him in his place I'm sure he'd be the terror of the tank. Hopefully he doesn't get any worse as he grows.

Love this thread Lance! I have a thing for wrasses!!

My dusky wrasse

http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_0791.jpg

Thanks the checkerboard was from another member and he's been great. My lunare is about 6" too, and is aggressive towards other similar size/shape fish. I had him with a small red corris wrasse (before the velvet) and he was ok with him but that wrasse was only an 1 1/2" to 2" big. During QT when the lunare was with the checkerboard wrasse (checkerboard is now in the reef tank and the lunare is in the fowlr) he constantly attacked the checkerboard :sad: The grouper I have used to sort of pick on the lunare but they seem fine together now and the other fish in that tank are different types (trigger, angel, puffer, foxface) and they get along fine. I would like a tuskfish but I'd worry that my lunare and grouper would pick on one too much.

I'd love more wrasses but my lunare would pick on any that were big enough for the grouper not to eat! and my reef tank already has a fair amount of fish and a devil damsel that likes to chase wrasses :twised:

[quote=JDigital;493320] You Lunar is AWESOME!! He's in your reef?


Yup. He's in the 225g. No crabs or shrimp, just large snails which he leaves alone.

I can take credit for the fish but not the pic.....You know who took this shot of my lineatus:wink:

My tank is covered, but there was a security breach and he found it.

Couldn't find a better pic

I also have a flame, and a christmas wrasse. I've kept many other fairy wrasses. I'll have to go through my pics

Romboid FTW... Soo nice! :biggrin:

Do different species of wrasse's live well together in the same tank? Say like some tangs do. Ive only ever owned a six line, and he was a little dink. Would be nice to get a few of the nice colourful ones.

Well thats decided it. As soon as I'm back from the States I'm going to :grab: me a McCoskers.

Great Thread :biggrin:

WOW Stacyd72 nice wrasse collection!!!

Great looking wrasses everyone.

ya.. wow. I need to ditch my FOWLR plans and set up a WOWLR. Wrasse Only With Live Rock! :lol:

great looking wrasse's! i would love to pick one of these up soon, How do they fit in with clowns?

Thanks! The Five Stripe is a striking wrasse but can be quite aggressive like others in his family (Lunare, Sunset, Banana, etc). This one particularly does not like other torpedo-like fish at all, but doesn't seem to bother any other fish.

The Melanarus is one of the calmest wrasses I own and I own a few :redface:

Nice Wrasses everyone.
Sounds like a good slogan: "Reefers have the nicest Wrasses!"

Lance > care to tell us just how many you have seen? :surprise:

Nope. (Privileged info).
I've yet to see yours Leah. PM me a pic or two. :lol:

Better yet!... If you come up to the Okanagan.... I can give you a private viewing. :wink:

can I watch? I'll bring my own snacks. :pop2:

If I wasn't so lazy I'd graph the perversion level trend around here. Rest assured it's a steep muthafraggin' slope!

Hahaha, every time Lance or Fishy time log on we see a dramatic spike :lol:.
