I have a Six Line in there... but the Leopard is so much larger than the Six Line... u think they will still kill each other?

SRC Member w3ish3ng Posted April 12, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2006 its not funny when you see how the stupid leopard wrasse just sit on the sand and let the six line peck. i have to use my hand to scare the six line away. and only got rid of it during rescaping. gave it to my fren and he kill a cleaner wrasse in his tank. oh ya he used to peck my algae blenny too Member of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jervismun Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Bros I've decided to start transferring some corals over to my new tank tonight (bit by bit). The water parameters are at acceptable levels for the past 3 days. I think it's better to introduce 1 coral a day (hardy ones like Mushrooms and Zoos) into the new tank to slowly add bioload. If not, this weekend will be very major increase in bioload. Just transferred my Orange Zoos over. Starting to open already... (good sign I guess). Here's a pix under Atinic T5... wow! I've never seen the true colours of this specimen under my single 14000ºK MH. Boy... what have I been missing...

jervismun Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Last pix of the night... this specimen is "so-so" ready for fragging. Since it is not attached to a rock base, I will try to separate them into smaller colonies. Currently too much competition between individual polyps.

SRC Member colinsoon Posted April 12, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2006 that is the problem with a lot of wrasses, they go right into the sand after release, and their bioclocks i must say, are simply amazing... my wrasse disappears exactly at 7pm, and appears at 730am everyday, without fail, whether my lights are on a not... my previous experience is, dun worry bout them dying in the sand, cos if they do die, they will come out to die. and dun try digging around the sand for them, cos it will stress them out more, you wun see them for days... trust me, my first 2 yellow wrasses were a disaster... feeding them is a lil tricky, cos if you come back from work late, you most prob wun see it around above sand, and that of course means they wun eat anything... try to feed your fishes when your wrasse is out of hiding. oh, they are ok with frozen brine, but they adore frozen bloodworms... you can try.. feed them one good meal every 2 days and you dun hafta worry so much....

jervismun Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks Colin for the tips on wrasses... yeah perhaps I will just leave it in hiding (if it pleases the fish)... a silly question... if I do major rockscaping, what are the chances of it being buried and stucked by the LR above?

SRC Member colinsoon Posted April 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2006 haha, the other time i unconsciously placed my LR on the spot that my wrasse was hiding, and if you dun stab the rock into the sand and hit it directly, and unless the rock is like super huge and covers the area, it should be ok. they can move around. wat i did when there were wrasses around in my tank is that, i poked my fingers around the sand where i am gonna place my LR, and feel for them. you can very distinctively feel them, something solid underneath... so nothing to worry bout crushing them or something.. haha..

Thanks bro soon for the real-life experience, I will use my finger to dig the sand before placing the LR on the spot, don't have some extra large pieces of LR anyway... so should be ok.

jervismun Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Although I introduced the 2 Cleaner Shrimps separately, 1 month apart... they quickly paired and stay together most of the time... perhaps they are bros... protecting each other from enemy, lol.
