Mccosckers Flasher Wrasse

[foley69]

hi all the title says it all i was just wondering if anybody has ever kept these guys as i have read up on them and fell in love with them and we got one in at work so i got it for my 33gal tank to go in with my two clownies and my 2 cleaner shrimp. he has very vibrant colours already to say he was introduced 2 days ago, id get a picture but he is too #40## fast

so if any one has kept this fish im just curious as to how they cared for it etc.

cheers andy

nice fish id get a pic of mine but its too fast and the hood of my tank is secure theres like a 2cm gap where the skimmer is but thats all so i should be fine

you should be, there is stories of wrasse fitting trough smaller holes though! just be warned!...one bloke had a £120 mystery wrasse jump through a 2cm hole...gutted

Hi,

I had a fairy wrasse that had been doing really well in a reef tank set up for several months . Hadnt seen him for a day and he didnt appear at feeding time which was very unusual for him. After a search I found him in my cannister filter yesterday.Dont know how he got there as the pipe work is so small.

Obviously I am very upset by this and although I dont want to put you off it is something to take into consideration.
