I rescued this guy from a lfs that had him for 3 months in a 20g cube! he was stressed out and spending alot if time in the sand so I thought I would try to save him! on top of that I had been wanting one for quite a while for my 150 and I couldnt pass on the price!

Good luck with the new leopard. Beautiful fish with peaceful personality.

[Razzagas]

do leopard wrasses sleep in the sand like some other wrasses?

[ImAFinAddict]

yes, and what a nice catch! good luck!

[tigerarmy40]

thanks guys for all the compliments, he is stunning to look at and got along with all my other tank inhabitatns right off the bat!!! it loves the sand and goes there on a strict schedule for bed time and gets up at the same time every day!!! Im super stoked on the fact that he followed suite and took to flake once he saw my other fish tearing it up.....

anyone else have leopard wrasse photos? lets see them!

[Purple Haze]

how would a Leopard do in a 24" barebottom cube?

Very nice, btw.

[tigerarmy40]

not good! they need sand to sleep and hide in when stressed out!

[Leishman]

put a bowl of sand behind the rocks, he'll find it for nap time

looks sweet! how big is it?

[jda]

Just under 3 inches. She was about 1.25 when I got her a few years back. You could see through her tail because she was so small. Notice the full belly - I can come home from a week's vacation, and they have a full belly.

[tigerarmy40]

so Im guessing you have a monster load of pods for them to munch on in your system......

thanks for the info. Beautiful photos.

here is a pic of a leopard wrasse I had like yours. I got him and put him in my tank. He swam around my tank unharmed and looked super healthy for about 3 hours. Then when the halides went off he went under a rock to what I thought making a home. Well next day I went to work at the fire station for 24 hours and haven't seem him since. This was 2 months ago.

jrfowler I hope you find your fish but at this point things are looking grim, was the fish healthy when you picked it up?
