Lemon's tank!

[yikai]

a harem of female and juvenile flashers, led by my male P. Flavianalis. the females, if im not wrong, are filamented flashers... i do have a male 1, but it does not seem to be interested in the females. the group is mismatched :/

but its awesome to see a group of fishes hovering above the reef with the male constantly flaring. pictures do no justice.

wao, a flasher male and a harem of females.. nicely done..

[Eniram]

haha lemon sooner or later we'll notice a flasher wrasse BOOMZ!!! Its like the prata craze long time ago!! reefers were pratically crazy about it and the prices all when sky high..

[yikai]

the harem of juvenile/female flashers really really bring the tank together. currently i have 4 different species of adult male flashers. P. mccoskeri, carpenteri, filamentosus, and flavianalis. these 4 males are consistantly flashing at the harem of females to gain their attention.

that said, its amazing to see so many species not fighting but flashing together. hope this maintains even when the harem grows bigger

even though the females/juveniles are of different species lol.

[yikai]

platygyra from CF's aussy shipment. this is leftover from their debut shipment. sky blue inside, green+purple outside.

move too fast so my noob cam can only capture using flash!

flashers are cheap. all below $10. for bigger alpha sized ones, $12 or $15 at different LFS.

the small juveniles/females i got them at $6 each. kinda expensive since they're so small, but worth it IMO since u rarely see them at this size.

Lemon Bro, can add so many huh ?will it fight ???

[yikai]

Lemon Bro, can add so many huh ?will it fight ???

they wont fight because in the wild, these fishes are haremic. 1 alpha male leading a group of subordinate males, females and juveniles. in my tank i tried to replicate it. it works so far. however, i do have 4 male flashers of different species. they don't fight at all, but they do display to each other.

same goes to fairy wrasses. but i'm trying to create a harem of wrasses, and since flashers are cheap and readily available, i decided to start off with flashers. ideally, i would love to do it for fairies, but the females and juveniles are even harder to find as compared to flashers.

Bro ,where to buy ???

[yikai]

Bro ,where to buy ???

males are available almost in all LFS and very commonly found in indo,phillipines shipment. except mccosker's which is rare and only CF brings in these days. females and juveniles that i show in the pictures are hard to find. this is my first time seeing such small specimens so i took a chance and bought all.

they are timid fishes so take your time to introduce them to your tank. i find betta boxing them for a few days works best if u have many fishes in your tank that might scare them.

cf replenish new stock of flashers today. some of them quite big and "alpha", especially the carpenter's.

females are uniform red, smaller, no patterns, no colours, and the fins do not have the filaments. they are very very seldom imported because they are very dull and boring. females look like juveniles too. u can see the picture of the harem of flashers i posted. all the small ones are females.

What do flasher eat?

[yikai]

What do flasher eat?

corals, SPS, shrimps, prata, clams, LPS, zoas but their favourite is the flesh of other fish.

just kidding..

flashers are mid water planktivores and they are very easy to feed. mysis, flakes, pellets, brine shrimp etc..... if they are comfortable and not timid anymore, they can be very greedy fishes and are extremely easy to feed.

[qwertman321]

ok thx alot!! i gonna get some!

[yikai]

can't help but feel like i'm advertising these fishes..................

before buying please do research and make sure ur tank is suitable for them.... tank size, occupants etc.
