reefman420 · 02-26-2008, 11:17 PM

20 bucks u got a steal...im gonna add a pair of leapord wrasses to my 155 bow

i will have a six line,2 leapords,and a yellow corris

zeus_roush · 02-26-2008, 11:21 PM

i was looking for a wrasse, so i picked him up. I wasnt sure what kind i wanted, but he/she caught my eye and when the guy said 20 i said bag it.
the leopards where one that i was looking at. the yellow coris the guy showed me tonight but he would dig it out of the sand and poof right back into the sand it went. so considering this is the only fish i have i didnt want one that did nothing but hide

looks like a female McCoskers Wrasse

zeus_roush · 02-26-2008, 11:30 PM

i have found like 5 wrasses it looks like. but just as i think its one the next picture looks nothing like it. mckoser female maybe

prow · 02-26-2008, 11:40 PM

lol, seen this in you other thread here what wrasse is the best?.

this was my reply over there;
need a better pic but based on what looks like more yellow tails i would say its a filamented flasher wrasse.

both the carpenters and mccoskeri have red on the out edge of the tail. al are cool on these two the mccoskeri has only one dorsal filiment(long dorsal fin) the carpenters have more.

zeus_roush · 02-26-2008, 11:45 PM

yes wasnt getting any responses so i changed instead of asking what i should get to what type is this sorry for the inconvience

prow · 02-26-2008, 11:50 PM

na no inconvience, just put that there so others could catch up

zeus_roush · 02-26-2008, 11:56 PM

i want to try and narrow it down because i want to make sure iam doing everything possible to keep it healthy. i have found everything from red parrot, to yellow tail fairy wrasse, blackfin flame wrasse, and others that look like it one picture then not in the next pic

prow · 02-27-2008, 12:34 AM

yeah i hear ya, wrasse do very alot but much of the issue is many pics are labled wrong. fyi its best to search using the scientific names, common names can/are used for more than one type fish.
