I know, at some point i will separate the wrasses into two different categories, but for now the list is how it is.

But this should help you out:Wrasse Fish for Sale: Cleaner Wrasse and other Reef Safe Wrasse Species

What do you mean by "regular" ?

 

[fastrd400]

I vote for ir-regular!

 

[tnconcept]

The regular are the one that you see at the lfs I have a buddy that cant get me fish that you dont see at store. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[fastrd400]

Drop the 90 bucks and get a Mystery Wrasse.

 

[little_fish]

The reason most of those fish arent seen in stores is because they have a horrible survival record in captivity, needing huge specialized tanks and expert keepers.

Just get a mystery, cool fish with a good survival record.

Mystery Wrasses aren't that cool :mrgreen:

Yeah ,and everyone has one of those common things ,,Jeesh,just get one of those 6 lines,never see any of those:mrgreen::mrgreen:

BTW Brian,if yours isn't cool enough for ya i'll take em off your hands:Cheers:

Some of them are really pretty but it sucks that they are all like 3-5inches but need like 70gallon tanks........ NEXT

 

[little_fish]

Not all of them amber. Check out the flasher or fairy wrasses. Several of them will do fine in a smaller tank but they do need to be a smalll harem to do best.

Any of the carpenters and many of the fairy wrasses will do fine.Remember,all wrasses can jump.

Everyone one of those fairy wrasses say 75, 90 or 125 gallons. What do you mean a small harem?

 

[little_fish]

They do best when you have one male and a couple or more females.

I really have no idea what you are looking at because they are only 3 in long. Liveaquaria lists them as only needing a 30 gal tank.
