Well after 3 days of relentless persecution my Lineatus kicked the carpenters ace and he's king!

i believe the christmas is actually an ornate wrasse, a christmas wrasse is much larger and more of FO wrasse

Sure! LOL That's what I said 5 wrasses ago..

Benf, You will love the rhomboid. You have a great group of fish already.

Thanks,
I didnt really want to put the females in their cause they lack the better coloration, but i figured the males will do better with them in there!

Nice, how long have you had the leopard

Just 2 weeks, but he is doing well. I tried one a year or so ago, and the wrasse immediately hid for 2 days then reappeared and died.

Beautiful! Can you please give me some info on your experience with the pink margin? I have cleared my tank of larger fish, and a few small ones and want to replace them with this fish. What type of personality & swimming habits?

benf · #20 05/21/2007, 12:49 PM

He was shy for the firt 3 days! Then finally he braved it and has been swimming around with no issues. He spends most of the time on the half of the tank he sleeps at, but no problems with any fish and he was added before the Scotts and Lineatus. I was a little worried he would bother the new ones cause he is slightly larger and added first, but so far so good!

reefchiquita · #21 05/22/2007, 10:44 AM

Benf, those are great pics. Don't think I've seen beauties like those at my LFS. What other fish do you have in the tank? Are they quite active and visible?

waterfaller1 · #22 05/22/2007, 11:03 AM

Thanks so much Benf! Mine is on order..I hope he is as beautiful as yours.

benf · #23 05/22/2007, 11:06 AM

Thanks...they are very active...always on the move!

here is a pic of the Big Boys of the tank i took this past week!

WOW...how about a FTS?

I am getting the pink margin. We had one at the shop..once. We handpicked him at the wholesaler's and he was magnificent...every color of the rainbow. Ever since then I have wanted one. Wish me luck..
