Is there a size of fish that is more hardy or is all up to fish?

Just wanted to drop in and say thx for all the great info. Picked up a leopard wrasse (meleagris) 7 weeks ago and things are now fine!
I had given it up for dead, and after a month in the sand decided to come out as if nothing had changed. She was so skinny! Started her on brine shrimp soaked in selcon for a couple of days, went to mysis, then went to a seafood mix I make containing octopus, shrimp, mussel, clam, nori and selcon and now is also taking NLS flake, pellet and freeze dried mysis. Wants to eat all day lol. Unfortunatley can't just feed her pellet and flake as a few inhabitants of the tank have refused to go off the seafood mix I make, so I mix it all in and feed throughout the day. She seems to be fattening up although I would like to see more weight on her. And yes treated with prazipro, started the dose 3 days after she surfaced just to make sure I got some food into her. |

Awesome news! My Lennardi wrasse did the same thing! Went hiding for 3 Weeks and then decided to come out! Now he's eating like a pug too!
Has anyone had any experience with Kueter's leopard wrasse? Are they similar to the choati in terms of difficulty to keep? Will introducing a group of 3 or 4 make it easier to keep in the long run? Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 |

i have a kuetier and he acclimated well even after a slight problem with getting stuck behind my foam wall . it took an hour to get him out and i thought he was a gonner from being stressed but he pulled through like a champ ! i have found the choati's to be nearly impossible as i am missing something with their specific needs .
love the lennardi's ,wish i could get one .

prog-frags those are some great pictures. Really wish I could take pictures like that. Looks like that female bipart is ready to turn male as soon as the male leaves. Great pair and love the Kuiter's.
Dave, can't wait to see the video!! Pictures would do in the mean time. My Kuiters, Bipart, and Potters are still doing great. The Potters pushes everyone out of the way and eats like a pig.
