SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 22, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi fellow reefers, i have 3 blue eyes in my tank. One of them (the largest) recently started developing black fins. Is it undergoing some ###### change? Attached picture shows the 1 with black fins(middle) and the other with normal colouration. Thanks in advance for the help!

SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 22, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 22, 2006 Wow...that sounds cool. So i guess that 1 is the male. Its the biggest and most aggressive between the 3 of them. Wondering what it'll look like after it has completed its change.

Haha, saw 1 leopard wrasse today in this LFS in chinatown. Looks different from the 2 i have but resisted buying it. Reserving some space for a scotts fairy.

Think i saw 1 or 2 in Irwana on Wednesday. Bought mine somewhere else though.

Hey, thanks!~ I heard they are difficult and listed under Expert Only fishes in LiveAquaria but im having no problems with them till now. Both have started feeding and roaming around the tank openly. The only thing is they'll disappear somewhere during the evening. Early sleepers i guess.

SRC Member patrick123 Posted April 23, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 23, 2006 Are the leopards reef safe? They look very stunning. The last time I had a coris and it became a nuisance and kept turning my coral on the sandbed upside down to look for pods or food. Ended up a few of my brains got damaged and never recovered. Not sure whether the leopards will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member patrick123 Posted April 23, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 23, 2006 BTW, the blue eyes anthias are actually the female of lyretail. Looks like one of yours is transforming to a male due to the absence of a male in your tank. You can search the LiveAquaria for their pictures. The down side from my experience is that if they transform from female to a male in captivity, the color will not be as vibrant as if they where in the wild. You can let us know if it is true.

Hrmz, for the anthias thats morphing, hope the colours will be nice. But well, its pretty amazing to see your fish change.
