Desi, I'm no expert with fish, but I hear that if you keep the Sg slightly lower, I.e. Hyposalinity, you can help them to reduce their stress. I dunno how true, but somehow it works for some. How abt

Coral RX is for dipping corals in before putting the corals into your tank. It will get rid of pests residing in the live rocks.

ok camera batt charged.. here are some pics of the new fishes.. the 8 line has disappeared.. I think it has burrowed into the sand for some R&R... :P So here are pics of mainly the fairy wrasse and the first 2 have the 6 line in it. Can you spot the 6 line in the background for the first pic? :P

wow. not to be a wet blanket but the 6 line and 8 line will be absolute terrors once established. pseudochileinus wrasses, dont mess with them. adding other wrasses especially fairys and flashers might be a problem. have lost hundreds of $$ worth of jumping wrasses due to an 8 line.

proper introduction of future wrasse must be done in order for lesser aggression. think should be fine since your tank is large. the hooded and lineatus are next on my list but sad to say, won't be expecting the hooded anytime soon... vanuatu shipments are on halt now island wide for a really long time now..and not sure when it will be available again. lineatus is still a possibility in future aussy shipments!

welcome to the wrasse club! they're beautiful fishes to own and really great show stoppers

thanks lemon... ya i read about the 6 line and 8 line that can be more aggresive but i figured they will be relatively small size compared to all our other fishes and we have a fairly big tank so should be fine. That said, i want to get a few more pieces of nice live rock so that the fishes have more hiding place..

I totally agree with you on the colours... they are absolutely the most colourful fishes...

One question though... our tank is not hooded but is full cabinet so technically it should be fairly safe for any jumpers right? worst case is land on bracing (2 inches) and shd wriggle back into the water right?

Thanks lemon for the advice. it's ok... Right now it's all just "ideas" ketchup has.. I am currently already feeling that the tank looks a wee bit crowded already... Especially since we have not introduced our powder brown yet for another 2 more weeks in QT! So we will take a breather for now in terms of fish.. I HOPE!!!!

And yes, it's all due to your tank which has made us WANT to get involved with wrasses.. hopefully the fishes in my tank kiss each other too.. :P Oh, I saw the green wrasse challenge the 8 line wrasse .. nothing too serious, just posturing and giving the 8 line the SMOOCHING of the lips action! oh, well both are more or less the same size so I doubt any harm would come of it besides the posturing... :P

Desi :eyebrow:

agreed! no matter how small and timid it is now, it'd change soon. i've lost 3 leopard wrasses (~3"), 1 banana (2.5") and 1 hawaiian pin stripe (2") to a less than 1.5" sixline. and those are only the ones i remember :unsure:
