So long as nobody asks me to kiss their wrasse I am happy with mine.

Wow Anthony, you're really up to your ass in wrasses!

That's an awesome collection you've got going there. Which tank is this? Not the old yellow tangs tank is it?

Just got mu Lineatus from BWA and it's a beaut!!
Also has a Two-spot wrasse, H. biocellatus, and a female M. meleagris. Now hunting for a male.

And wanting the Blue Star wrasses.

If I ever have a chance to re-do, I'll go mostly wrasses, too!! Definitely got the bug!!

I love wrasses. I my favourite fish. But I don't want to give up the rimless... no no wrasse for me

Wrasse are my fav too !!!

I have a cleaner in each tank a 2 year old female leopard and wanting to add more very soon.

Sold off the old "yellow tangs tank" a few months ago. Decided that instead of a few large tangs, my remaining systems will do better with smaller, more colourful fish. Luckily we have a couple of good LFS around here that order in a lot of different wrasses (for me

).

Adding a Melanarus wrasse & maybe a Mystery wrasse during Boxing Day sales.

Would love a Linneatus and Blue Star Leopard wrasse to add to my collection.

PS. Picked up a true Exquisite Fairy Wrasse, a Yellow Flank Fairy, and a Potter's Leopard today. (Dangerous to be obsessive-compulsive and have credit at the LFS)

Heh, if it's off a credit, who cares

Now if it's off a credit CARD that might be another matter.

I too have a soft spot for the wrasses particularly the fairy wrasses. But have had bad luck with jumping over the years, even on covered tanks. I had a nice pair of blue sided fairies that one weekend I was away the tank sitter forgot to close the lid one night and both of them jumped out. What are the odds.

Lost a few other fairies over the years to jumping and the darn things just landing on the Eurobracing and not flippityflopping back into the water.Just lost a canary wrasse last night. Boo.

Really is not a question of "hopefully they never jump" - forget it, they WILL jump at some point - you just have to hope they fall back into the water.

Have a pair of flame wrasses now though which has me super excited! I'll try to post some pics later.

I am a bigtime wrasseman......lubocks in the small tank......mystery, leopard and melenarus in the big tank......Ive pledged to not put any really expensive wrasses in this version of the tank, aside from the mystery..... Ive had a lineatus carpet surf before.....I like my tanks topless so I am still kinda rolling the dice....
