thedude Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I got one of these for my tank today and I have to say, coolest fish I've had in a long time. Great personality, ate out of the bag, watches me from inside the tank! I could not be happier with this fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is it considered part of the Fairy Wrasse family? Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 No, same family as a sixline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburton Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I almost bought the one from aquatek, but decided against it. I wanted to wait a bit after losing my blue spot jawfish. They are great looking fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have to tell you Mark, these fish are WAY hardier than blue spots. One of the wholesalers walked me through how they get blue spot jawfish... It basically involves a truck (read pickup truck) driving in from Baha, and dropping off some fish.

Wryknow Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 How about a pic? I really like the reef safe-wrasses in general. Very active and fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Rangoon Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Nice choice, I love the Mystery Wrasse. It's definitely at the top of my 3 favorites (Pink Streaked Wrasse and Four Line in 2nd and 3rd). I was weary of putting one in my tank because I thought they may be reclusive or skittish in a high-light environment. I presume yours went into a coral tank, and it does just fine, given the lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Halides over my tank and he's just fine. I suck at taking pictures but let's see if Greenmako will share the pictures he took of his. Yo Brian post your pics haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 John, I'm disappointed that you didn't get it for my office tank, but I'm glad it has a good home. Congrats on your acquisition! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
