Anyone kept this fish before? I found it at ahbeng today. First time seeing this. did not know what it was. At first thought it belonged to the family of lunar wrasse. But after identifying, it is a pseudocoris bleekeri.

Max size 15 cm. anyone kept before? fierce?

it's olive greenish-blue, with leopard spots and a yellow saddle. the fins are outlined in faint pink and yellow. buries in the sand.

Ok wat 15cm not too big, u can keep it for yourself, a v uncommon wrasse and reefsafe also.

Anyway the B.Chnabaudi swims at bullet speed, itself is shaped like a bullet also. Jux now it yawned and the mouth is so big tat seems like it can easily swallow any small fishes like dartfish and gobies. Think the mitratum will be food to the fish also if i dump it into he main tank!

hm... still can't find any info regarding it's behaviour. i hope it won't be fierce like those coris gaimard etc.

it's sleeping in the sand... with it's head peeking out. should not be too difficult to feed. and i hope the colours retain in my tank...

iirc,DD on liveaquaria brought them in sometime back.

from the looks,it seems like a skittish species to me :upsidedown:

hmm....any photos from DD? or any old links or photos?

i don't think its skittish. pseudocoris wrasses are not skittish. they do however, hide in the sand for the first few days like coris, halichoeres and macropharyngodon wrasses.

it came out today. swimming around.

omg it's abasolutely beautiful!!! the fin is pink and the body became a bright turqoise blue. it looks way better than those photos. by at least 20x.

i've never seen such a uniquely coloured fish and was so glad i kept it in the end.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
