Yeah, its definitely too risky that way. I thought about one when I was picking out wrasses for my tank, but decided they're just too risky unless you find one already eating from an established tank. I went with flasher wrasses instead.
Mines a tiny female though. She was eating frozen and looked super healthy, so I couldn't resist. She's been in my tank for 4 days now and she's doing great and eating frozen mysis like a champ. How is yours doing?
Glad he's doing good. I'm sure he'll warm up over time. Honestly, that's exactly how I expected mine to behave but she is the bravest little fish ever. I acclimated her and added her to the tank and she never went into hiding. Every other fish I've ever gotten hides immediately until it gets used to the new tank. Nope, she just hovered about front and center for the rest of the day until lights out. When the lights are out, she's down in the sand, but as soon as the lights come on, she's out front and center the whole time. I can even stick my hands in near her and she doesn't go hide. Crazy little fish! Hopefully yours will get like that.He is really good. He is hit or miss if he will be out for the day. I have my hands in the tank every day moving corals and cleaning so sometimes he is out and sometimes he is a gone for a day or two. Two days hiding for sure after a water change. Very very very very VERY timid.
He will get better with time. Glad to hear yours is doing well
So to me it looked like 2 were turning male at the same time or were in process of growing out their dorsal fin around the same time. 1 was beating the other 2 up all day yesterday and today he is dark and dark fins. Now he is just swimming around like he owns the tank and chasing randomly. Looks like he is the one and he is the largest of the 3.
