Cheeks, beautiful. I believe you have the slightly bluer Australian variant?

Thanx and yes I believe so.

Great thread guys! Here is my addition I just picked up this juvenile lineatus yesterday:

Here is another pic of my Flame. So far the lineatus and flame are getting along well.

Thanks Tstone! Nice picture! It is more red then i thougt it would be!

tstone · #**183** 03/18/2005, 06:24 AM

It is a beautiful fish. I love the dorsal with the ray like fins

Norberg · #**184** 03/18/2005, 07:38 AM

Is there any difference between male and female? They seem to be rather smal so the are maybe good for harems!

Here is my Rose-Fin wrasse... How is the coloration on this guy. Your JV's have a lot more yellow to them.

beautiful fairy wrasses and beautiful zoanthids too!

LPSgirl · #**189** 03/23/2005, 03:56 PM

Wow, you have all those wrasses in a 65 gallon tank??

When I added just a single laboutei to my tank my rubrisquamis beat him up to near death. The laboutei cowered on the ground gasping for breath from all the chasing and biting he was enduring. I had to decide which fish went back to the LFS.

poknsnok · #**190** 03/23/2005, 08:14 PM

thats what I was going to ask. I have a cyanopluera. I HAD a beautiful scotts australian the cyano harassed. The scotts eventually launched itself through my eggcrate cover and became a fish stick. have you had any jumping issues?

LPSgirl · #**191** 03/23/2005, 08:34 PM

My tank is 100% covered, so no, no jumping issues. I only let the fighting go on for 48 hours, then my rubrisquamis went back to the LFS for a $60 credit (not the $90 I paid, but oh well, lesson learned).

Yup...... none of them show agression to each other.. well maybe the boss, exquisite, tends to be abit bossy sometimes.... next in my list is flame and lineatus

Some other shot....

LPSgirl · #**197** 03/24/2005, 04:37 PM

Wow, I just watched my Laboutei nip a little scarlet hermit crab off the rockwork, follow him down to sand, and when the poor guy tried to upright himself my wrasse swooped in for the kill. He got a hold of his legs and ripped him right out of his shell. I didn't know they hunted them that well, I guess I better start thinking about a different clean up crew.

bronco7777 · #**198** 03/24/2005, 05:35 PM

Was it a small hermit?

They might take a chance with a bite sized hermit but usually any hermit that is larger than their face they usually leave alone.

LPSgirl · #**199** 03/24/2005, 05:50 PM

Yes, the little type of hermits you get for a clean up crew. It took him two bites to eat him. After getting him out of his shell, he spit him out on the sand, grabbed his "meaty" body section and bit that off, then went back for the legs; swallowed those too. All mouth sized pieces.

hey everyone i have been following this thread for quite awhile. I was going to get a Paracheilinus filamentosus wrasse for my tank but they weren't on the list this week so i got a Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis instead. The only problem is that it doesn't look anything like the pictures that i have seen on the internet. It doesn't have the long dorsal fin nor does it have the ventral fins. I would post a pic of it but i am at school right now so it will have to wait i little bit till i get back to my house. Don't get me wrong it is a beautiful fish but i don't think that it is Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis. Thanks Ben
P.S. Great looking fish everyone. I think that i have been bitten by the fairy and flasher bug. New tank???????
