Male Malachite Wrasse

wow, striking fish. outshines the mystery wrasse in my opinion. nice fish and nice tank (as always) espo.

espo72 · #**137** 07/08/2007, 11:46 AM

thanks for the compliments.

there's not too much info on the Malachite wrasse. It's scientific name is Pteragogus aurigarius. I found some info on it in Kuiter's fairy wrasse book. Fishbase had a little info too. They are only found around Japan and Tawian. The male's colors are amazing and he can change his stripes from yellow to orange to red.

My LFS got a whole bunch of rare fish from Japan recently, including a Wraught-iron butterfly, Jap. Dragon eels, Jap. Kidako eels, and even a pinecone fish. So far, I've bought the eels and the wrasses. (it's been an expensive month!)

A local wholesaler is supposed to take my Bumblebee grouper this week. If he does, that will leave and empty 210 gal tank...I'm thinking about the pineconefish for that tank. Maybe with some Kelloggi seahorses, pipefish and a pair of boxfish.

That'd be an oddity of a tank, I look forward to some pics.

danorth · #**139** 07/08/2007, 02:41 PM

Yeah that wrasse is something else. Found some google images of that scientific name. Quite a find!

slang · #**140** 07/08/2007, 05:08 PM

happyface888 · #**141** 07/08/2007, 05:12 PM
