Wrasse - Lunare, Paddlefin, ?

hummusx · 03-11-2005, 01:28 PM

I was hoping to get people's thoughts on a colorful wrasse that can hold it's own in a more aggressive tank. We're currently looking at the Lunare and the Paddlefin. I'd like to hear from people that own/have owned these or other similar wrasses. Thanks!

I don't have experience but I can guess a few questions that will come!
what size tank?
what tankmates?
Getting that out should get you some better advice.
check out the harlequin tusk though
soo awesome!

I've had plenty of discussions about those before; I really just want to discuss the fish themselves, which is why I didn't post the answers in the first place.

no sure what you mean by hold it own.
had a lunar wrasse.. make sure you have a cover of some sort on it .. mine was found by the kids dried up..
rainbows are pretty cool and never had any trouble with anyone ever picking at him.( fuzzy dwarf lion, batfish, long hawk, sailfin)

Have had Coris wrasse b4, have a male Green Bird Wrasse now ,,,holds it's own with other tankmates,,even the spawning pair of Clowns that defend their nest to the hilt.My GB will spar with every one in the tank,and fights for most of the food it seems, but it's not too wussy ,or a bully,just kinda holds it's own,,,
