My new Wrasse. Loving him...

[myerst2]

Hello all. A local fellow RC member is breaking down one of his smaller tanks that had only one fish in it. He was nice enough to give it to me. The only time I have taken care of Halichores Wrasses was when I ran a LFS. So I never had kept one for an extended period of time. I know some can be difficult, but this guy or girl is eating everything and anything. Any idea if this is a Male or Female? Can you pair these Wrasses up after one has been introduced? How do you go about pairing them up? Any advice on these Wrasses? Am I correct that this is Hal. marginatus? Thanks!! What do you think of him? Later, T

I don't know a lot about wrasses yet, unfortunately. I want to learn, and am working on it. What I do know is this: That is a nice looking fish!

Your new fish has many different colors all in one! Hope he does good for you!

He has been in captivity for almost 3 years. Comes from a very talented aquarist. He has pairs of Geniacanthus that have been with him for 5 years and breed daily. T
