Just Got 3 Neovespicula Depressifrons

[kewskills]

Wow what gorgeous little fishes i just got today, 3 Wasp Fish.
Funny from what i have read they are usually quite stationary however these 3 are all over the tank.
I think they have settled already as they have all eaten already.

Will try and get Photos tonight, which i will post separately on the photo gallery part of the forum i will put a link from here to there

Reading more about them from Neale Monks website his description of their behavior is just like the way mine are behaving.
They are fun to watch indeed

If I had a brackish tank, those would be on the list, have you fed them yet, if so what are they eating?

Waiting for pics,

They have eaten live food only, bloodworm and brine shrimp so far.
photos when they sit still long enough, just blur's at the moment

When fully grown bumblebee gobys will not be safe, they will be food so i am led to believe

Sweet!! Welcome to the world of wasp fishes! I only have 1, but it is 2 inches long now. I have ordered some more from live aquaria.com but they dont have any in stock. I am just paitently waiting...

They will eat bumble bee gobies!! I bought one a while back just to get some variety, but as soon as the wasp fish seen him he was on the HUNT! So i netted the BBG and took it back to the LFS for credit.

How big are yours? I know the smaller ones are a pain to keep. Its good that they are eating brineshrip. My larger one wont touch anything unless it moves.

I have a post here about my tank, lots of pics of my waspfish in it.
