melanurus wrasse questions.

[kien]

very nice! Love this fish. Good bang for your buck.

This thread makes me want to go out and buy this fish... Been looking for something useful to add to the tank for the last year.

What's this guy like over say a yellow coris?

Make sure u have jump proof lid on tank so u dont come home from work to an anchovie on the floor. My wrasse rocks by the way. Great fish.

I had the melanarus and pair of mandarins in my 90 with about 75 lbs of live rock , and now they are in my 140 with the same rock.

Anyone have problems with your melanurus wrasse when it comes to cleaner shrimp? Or snails and crabs?

Got one, no issues that I have seen although it is difficult to do rolecall of CUC. Some do some dont. I keep mine well fed so he dont. Hopefully it works out for u cuz they are an absolute nightmare to get OUT of a system

my melarnus has eaten all my bristle stars.... he hates my leopard wrasse...... and the leopard is a pussy and seeds to stand up for himself..... otherwise a good guy...

I tried to catch my melarnus to trade him and just keep the leopard.. but it has proved impossible to catch.... so I wait...
