If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

eh? Exquisite not tt expensive bro. Was quite surprised that it turned out to be very affordable, compared to other wrasses out there. Hmmm maybe mine are still ok coz I don't have that many aggressive fishes in my tank. My newest addition, blotchy, also chased away when the exquisite started flashing last night.

A v. good tip I learnt here on introducing wrasse is to keep them inside betta box first to get them feeding on pellets. Once you are comfortable, introduce them at night when lights are out to explore their new surroundings. Better chances of reduced aggression between fishes this way.

maybe my tank height plays a part as it might be too shallow. Bought those cheap ones from CF which are less than 1 red notes but none survive even after a few attempt.

hmmm if you really like wrasses, just custom build a netting? I'm sure light penetration will not be affected coz ure tank really quite shallow :D Keep them in betta box longer so they get used to their new surroundings. Could be something in your room tt's spooking them. I've heard of ppl who keep their wrasse inside betta box for up to 2 months, so shouldn't be a problem.

And give us more updates on your lighthouse tank bro! :whistle

hehe :paiseh: haven't built... no signs of aggression in my tank so far. Blotchy only chases my lyretails ard... Might not build it at all coz of light penetration issues.

i c . I am going to get mine done this week.

Just a simple acrylic pane to cover the top - going to keep firefish.

I realise firefish are popular with kids especially. Everytime I'm at LFS and there's a kid, he/she will always be pestering their parents to get them.

Jacky, LFS shopping when? :eyebrow: :eyebrow: Are you doing a full cycling of your tank?

you dont need aggression for them to suicide. sometimes they get too excited, flare, and jump. and thus, ikan bilis :)

in my experience, flashers are the jumpers. fairy not so. however that doesnt mean fairys arent good jumpers too.
