Rhomboid Wrasse

Ive just been putting money away for a while from the frags I sell. I now have enough put away to buy them. Let the hobby pay for itself.

we had a pair, beautiful fish, lots of flashing, good eaters and always swimming in the open, BUT!!!! they are JUMPERS, we have lids but both jumped out during a feeding, the male survived but sadly the female did not.

Thanks for the post Cal_stir. How long ago did you have them? Do you have pictures of the fish?

I am putting a mesh screen top over my tank so I can feed without removing the top.

about 8 months, you still have to be very careful when doing any maintenance with the screen off, we watch him like a hawk now, we are trying to find another female.
I'll take a pic

Wow he is nice. Definatly a fish I would be willing to tip toe around.

she was nicer, they flashed constantly, it was incredible, they changed colour almost instantly, she would glow yellow, i guess thats why they're called golden flasher wrasses
