Wrasse Choice for a 40 Breeder / Where to buy a pink streaked wrasse?

From further reading my only hope is Divers den once a year or maybe blue zoo. Disappointing.

Maybe you could try another Six-line? I have had good luck with them before. You could’ve possibly just got one with a bad attitude.

Vallejo Aquarium has Candy Hogfish in as of this morning. I believe it was $49.99. Although that is a bit far for you.

Wow, how prices have increased....
Appears to be in good heath
Better to spend for healthy specimen than a weak and cheap

I've been looking for a pink streaked for 8 months now. I heard that they show up now and then on Divers Den: https://www.liveaquaria.com/divers-den.
I finally went with a Melanurus Wrasse and love her but I have a 55 gallon. Very colorful, very active and so far has gotten along very well with the other inhabitants.https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/2285/?pcatid=2285

Last one I got was from TSM about a year ago. Worth signing up for their email newsletter just in case

Do LFS not take special orders anymore? Like ask them "Hey I'm looking for this fish" ?

I just called Ed @ Clearwater. He will attempt to order me a pink streaked wrasse. Saves me $40 on shipping.

I had a naoko wrasse that was fine in my 55 gallon until I added a whole bunch of fish and he went nuts (chased all the fish) and jumped (before I had a top) -pretty and just under $100 at aquatic collection

I missed it by hours because I didn't check bar in time
I've had a standing order with my LFS for months and I just requested one from High Tide.

Quality marine does not have any pink streaked at the moment but they have pelvic spot wrasses

 

[under_water_ninja]

Think it might be the same as a pink streaked, or extremely similar

Live Aquaria lists pink streak wrasses as “Pseudocheilinops ataenia” which matches your picture. I think QM must has them under “pelvic spot wrasse”. DM me a price please.

Latin name is the only identification
common names are too unreliable

 

[under_water_ninja]

Yes it’s the same scientific name
