Can somebody enlighten me... :bow:

My 2 Mystery Wrasse which has been with me for about 3 weeks now are losing their stripes... :cry2:

Initially when I bot them their stripes are very visible... now I can hardly see them... :cry2:

What's wrong? Is this normal? Will the stripes come back... :cry2:

hi Richie,

mystery wrasse are known to lose their stripes as they mature.

so having the stripes back is highly unlikely.

but still, never say never. try to feed them good food.

and vit and amino and see if it helps.

im using dainichi food, see some of the fated wrasse color came back. http://www.reefdepot.com.sg/Products.asp?O...&BrandID=73

and the zeovit fish amino/kent marine zeocon/american pinpoint selcon have been of good use too

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.

Hi bro, mystery wrasse will lose their stripes when they turn adult. its not about the food they eat.

its just like juv angels growing into adult. :)

Well, let nature takes it's course... anyway what attracted me to MW is the color of the face and it's expression... :eyebrow:
