There seems to be a problem with Photobucket. This is a repost of photos from Flickr. Just the last 3 photos of my Christmas wrasse and my Vanuatu Flasher! Christmas Wrasse YK2O0224 by AloysiusMun, on Flickr Paracheilinus rubricaudalis (Red-tail Flasher wrasse) YK2O0235_rs by AloysiusMun, on Flickr YK2O0240_rs by AloysiusMun, on Flickr

One thing I realised about the Paracheilinus sp. is that its very critical to either keep males together or get a harem of females. Over the past month, his colours faded a big and all I see is him stretching but never Displaying. After the introduction of the other male Paracheilinus sp. , my male Paracheilinus rubricaudalis has brighten up so much more. He's getting brighter yellow which is what a Vanuatu flasher wrasse should look like!

Thanks thanks! Ya, sometimes Photobucket's a little laggy.

It's healing quite very well after I isolated my Female onyx. I use a Canon EOS 1Ds-mkII with 24-70mm F2.8L for macro I use the Tamron 90mm F2.8 1:1. Light is from my maxspect 110w. Hahah

Quick Photo Update! My P. rubricaudalis after a Flashing bout with my P. mccoskeri Its a pity his tail and fin got bitten by my Female Onxy, she's still in the Betta Box now. Gotta find her a Bubble Tip Anemone in hopes to lower her aggression and change her territorial behaviour to a small zone on the right side of my tank.

Nice Zoos you have there!

A quick shot of my Christmas Wrasse this morning!

So... An update on my current tank status. Live Stock: 1x Banded Serpent Starfish (healthy and fat from my detrius and leftover food) 2x Peppermint Shrimp (Happily explores my tank when lights are out, shed twice already, I assume its healthy) 1x Christmas Wrasse (Healthy but kinda stupid, only chooses to come out in the day but my tank lights are only on from 5pm onwards) 2x Onyx Clowns (Mated Pair) (Female is too aggressive for my liking, gonna get her a Bubble tip Anemone hopes it stay on the right side of my tank so my Flashers can live in the cervices on the left side of my tank) (Female currently isolated in a Betta Box) 1x Vanuatu Flasher Wrasse P. rubricaudalis (Male)(Healthy and Active other then Frayed tail Thanks to my Female Clown ) 1x Flasher Wrasse P. macoskeri (I think) (latest addition)(Flashing quite often, should do fine) Zoas, Yumas and Acan doing okay. Opening up and basking under my Maxspect! p.s. Mandarin Pair kindly adopted by Peter.

Your candies look good!

Woo... Nice nice!

Well... I personally like wrasses a lot. There's quite a variety at AM now you could go there and take a look!

HELP HELP HELP! Something is attacking my Flasher Wrasse tail and I can't figure out who is it. I'm suspecting it could be my Peppermint shrimps. Anyone can advise? Please Help!

Yea we should! =) U mean collect on LaW's behalf? Onizuka collected already. Yea my Flasher is doing good, actively swimming and all in my tank. He looks happy! Hahhaa.

Ok got it. =)

Just managed to isolate my Male Mandarin into the betta box. Added frozen mysis into the box no reaction. Added Live brine shrimp. Immediately he whack. Headache la. Need to wean him to eat Frozen mysis. Any suggestions?

I have currenlty 2 mandarin fish in my tank. I am planning on trading the Female Mandarin as they seem to have totally eaten up my pod population and I need to train it to eat other stuff now. 2 of them would be too much work. Looking at trading my female mandarin. They were from Henry and supposed to be feeding I saw them feed for myself. Please PM me if anyone's keen!

Alright, will do just that! Will try to culture it. =)

Reserved for Oceanviper!

Got about half a box of Henry's Reef Gourmet with Probiotics, looking at selling it as its too much for my small tank. Selling for 8bucks, anyone keen?

Hmmm.... Seems like the best would be to wean it on Frozen mysis. Gonna give it a shot!

Look like sea monkey one. Bought from Reborn. Thinking of adding nutrition by adding Selcon to it. Currently I mix live phytoplankton with it. What's the best thing to feed my mandarins with?

Just fed it live mysis. That's the only thing it eats what the hell man. Thinking of cultivating it from eggs anyone tried?

I don't know man. I'm getting a little worried as well. It's a feeding pair from Henry. I saw it feed myself. It's been in my tank for about 2 weeks. I spoke to henry and he said to just leave it in the tank. Hmm....

A quick photo update! Usually the blue acans open as well just that my Mandarin swam over it.
