i need my last fish and im calling all my fellow reefers to advice

quick rewind
75 gal + 20 g sump
150 ls

css125

stocklist
purple firefish
mccoskeri wrasse
lemon merengue wrasse
melanurus wrasse
exquisite wrasse

im thinking to change my stocklist; removing my purple fire fish(no fun but cute) before adding my last fish im still adding Cirrhilabrus scottorum and maybe Cirrhilabrus lineatus. yea im a wrasse freak -_-

so which one :drool:
whitecheek surgeonfish
ornate leopard wrasse

i voted for the leopard so very pretty...

 

[nycsicktank]

yes indeed, but very expert fish tho im not sure if im ready for this

True, but no need to have to get it immediately. You could plan on adding it when you're ready.

I say wait and find something else. I don't recommend either of those fish for your tank. The wrasse is difficult enough as it is, especially for a tank on the new side. The surgeonfish isn't that easy, either, but also needs a much larger tank than 75 gallons.

The first problem is finding a healthy one to begin with. They are usually starved and/or in poor shape from the start. Then, you need to make sure there is plenty of macrofauna, like copepods and the like for them to graze upon. Beyond that, it is also essential to get them eating prepared foods, which can take time (which is why the former is necessary).

im not surprise what you just said. ill get healthy fish before i get one.
