Are all wrasses jumpers??

[Greaser9999]

I've got 2 melanurus wrasse's, one in each of my frag tanks and they have never jumped on me ever. Great hunter too

Ever had any issues with the picking on ur coral? Saw them listed in fish only on liveaquaria

They will never go after coral in my experience and have never heard them doing so, however when they mature they will go after clean up crew every so often and will go after your shrimps

Like that potters wrasse chad got in today!! It's a beauty...

I agree with the general consensus. It's not if, it's when. But yeah, fairies are more likely to jump, like Cody says. When my lineatus gets startled, it'll try to dart out of the tank. If I didn't have netting, he'd be on the floor dead by now and he's huge. The smaller wrasses, I never witnessed jumping, but it'll happen.

I don't think a screen frame looks bad on a rimless if you get precise measurements where the frame sits on the glass itself or the euro brace if your tank has it.

You can flush mount a screen top with little clips. Tofu Vu had his tank done like that and it looked real nice.

Like those clips, thanks for sharing!! Screen on top of rim wouldn't work since I have the light mounted on top. Those clips might do the trick

Melunarus, cheap, effective, and don't jump.

More like fish jerky kitchen than graveyard.

Yet most my wrasses didnt jump & ive had most of them.

Think I may be leaning more towards a blue star leapord or a potters

 

[ZBT3091]

Is it a male or female? I'm tempted in either a potters or blue star wrasse

I'm not sure which sex it is. But I agree covering a tank with a glass top makes it look much uglier.

Check out liveaquaria, it shows u a pic of male & female. I could possibly be interested, like I stated earlier on here, really leaning towards a blue star or potters

Ok, mine is female. I would sell it for $20. Trying to break my tank down. Hopefully you would take some frags off my hands too.

I was hoping it was a male, I'll pass on the female. Thanks!! I'll be on the lookout for ur sale thread for some frags though

There will be plenty of stuff on the low, I am a very benevolent reefer when I break a tank down. I have some big odd ball fish from my 150 gallon star fire too if you have a big tank. I have a 14 inch horn shark. 8 inch bamboo shark. 2 foot zebra eel. 1.5 foot ghost eel.

ive had success with a leopard (3 years+) and yellow coris (2+ years, he disappeared during a move). They share a tank with 5 tangs, a flame, bicolor, flagfin angels, cardinals, clowns (4), and other stuff...no issues. Seems like overfeeding my fish seems to keep them calm.
