how did you find that? ive been searching for the last half hour and i couldn't find it.

would the melanurus wrasse get along with cuc?(snails,hermit crabs, shrimp)

 

[helitaiwan963]

mines fine... doesn't eat anything. it did eat a few hermits when i added them this weekend tho, but that's just cuz he thought it was a snack i was feeding them.

too much of a risk for the melanurus, not willing to take the gamble. at least i learned to spell its name though...

Everyone with a 75+ should have a melanurus, they are beautiful and so very personable. Most are even usually fairly brave and will feed from your hand.

Robert - my green chromis, feeds from my hand. Hahahaha. That's it though.

why is it a gamble, most people have them in their reefs. hermits are VERY cheap to replace and same with snails... they don't go after them for food if u feed them regularly

 

[fishyfish22]

i read on various other sites that they eat shrimp, that's the reason i call it a gamble. i don't want to order a fish that may pose a potential threat to anything else in my tank.

 

[helitaiwan963]

the chance is very small imo

 

[fishyfish22]

i'd rather not take the risk, hermits and snails are sort of cheap to replace, but if the wrasse keeps on eating them the cost will add up.

 

[fishyfish22]

i'd rather wait for a wrasse until after i upgrade my tank, it will be easier to maintain later on. are there any fish that aren't wrasses that eat amphipods?

 

[fishyfish22]

decided to get both, 4 clown gobies and a six-line wrasse. hope they work...
