so whats your fav wrasse

[rbredding]

:-(

no, it's NOT... but that doesn't take away from it being my favorite wrasse...


(and thank you for pointing that out... I didn't read the intent of a reef safe wrasse)

i'd have to go with the 3" green wrasse at Marine Design's reef display tank, then..

beautiful fish hackman. i keep going back to kzoo's fav. at first it looked ok. im starting to really like it. the colors are kinda related, but different enough where evry color stands out.
nice one indeed kzoo. what kind is it?

So true, I had a Mandarin Goby jump before

Leopard wrasses have to be my favorite looking wrasses. They can be tough to acclimate to tank life, however. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=leopard+wrasse&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=FuHmSp-IHYrR8Qbwy-maBw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CBwQsAQwAw">http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=leopard+wrasse&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=FuHmSp-IHYrR8Qbwy-maBw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CBwQsAQwAw</a>

I never have a tank without a 6-line wrasse. They have such great color when they get bigger and are always so active and their eyes are awesome.

I love wrasse just a great addition to any tank. I have to have one hands down. I have had two jump out. With a top too. I am now sporting the "Acroholic" clear speacial mesh top. Very proud. Nothin beats a wrasse! I would love to have a wrasse only tank!

hell I cant remember the name or find a pic but it resembles a lineatus but its blue and yellow and about $700.

Any fish can jump. I've even had a 10" long-horned cowfish jump... how he got the velocity in a 75g tank to do it, I'll never know.

Having said that, my fave wrasse is the Solarensis Fairy Wrasse:

Not my photo - borrowed image.

It gets a bit large for a 30-ish tank though.

Sixline is a good choice. Some get a bit bossy but most don't.

i'll have to look that one up in the book jenn. very beautiful.

 

[cbrjenkins]

Lunare wrasse, or as some know it, lunatic wrasse...by far one of the most interesting fish to watch.

 

[ralph atl]

you only have a few choices for a 30.

(Paracheilinus rubricaudalis)

I have a six line in my 34, along with a pair of clowns. Six-lines do have a lot of character, but also can be a little tyrant.

Listed as not reef safe but never had any problem.

This is probably my favorite. Too bad the motality rate is so high God rest his soul. Radiant wrasse

BUT my favorite is the Harlequin Wrasse (Tuskfish). LOVE that fish. Of the Australian sorts.

my g.friend goes nuts everytime she sees your avitar.
aside from the engineer goby (whos been named dollar bill)
thats her fav fish.

when we see one at a LFS she will stop and gaze for ever it seems.

jenn has a grouper in her tank that i want so bad. hes got personality.
i make sure i spend a few minutes messin with him when im there.
i dont know what kind he is, forgot, but hes very cool indeed.

 

[ricksconnected]

i think thats it. you havent been to jenn? oh man you should go. good times. kirsten and i can ever get out of there on time.
jenns cool and we end up talking about all kinds of stuff, and not just reefing. you'll meet several off here while your there too.
i'll get in the corner of the tank and move my head from front to side. he follows. lol. he gets these expressions. very cool fish.
jenn will have to sell him with visitation rights when it comes time.
im not ready for him or he would be here already.

I do love my African Cleaner Wrasse. His blue color adds a lot to the tank. 2nd choice...all of them...love wrasses very much.
