I have a male and female bird wrasse. They are very enjoyable to watch in my 125 gallon aquarium. They love to eat Krill, brine shrimp, mysid shrimp, and especially live grass shrimp.T hey are very intellegent having no problem adapting to my aquarium. Make sure you have plenty of hiding places for them. They are extremely fast swimmers.

I Love Dragon Fish. For me, this fish has a special character, besides as a rock mover, this fish knows time very well. I have 2. They only appear at 6 in the morning until 5 at evening. So it's useless for me to find them at night. I love this fish, they move the rocks and the sand keeps clean, by moving them

In support of the Marine Biologist, there are several species of common Goby and Blenny that will perform the same services as the Cleaner Wrasse, to a lesser degree. They are also much more commonly bred in captivity. If you have a tank that contains larger fish species, dont go replacing Cleaners though, as most fish will not recognise goby/blenny cleaners for what they are, and will just eat them!

Same deal with mine. I placed mine in the tank and the first thing that he did was dive into the sand. This fish is a beautiful specimen and a wonderful addition to any tank.

I bought a "Green Wrasse" about 3 months ago. It has been a wonderful addition to the aquarium. I love active fish, and this fish is most active. As it swims it looks like a bird in flight. Gets along real well with the triggers and other hearty fish in the tank. If you like a fish that is active, easy on the eyes, and a good eater. I would highly recommend..

While first entering Leopard Wrasse in refugium tank, sm wrasse dove into sand. Scared as I would assume. Lots of live food for a juv. As for the larger of the two fish I entered it in the reef tank(125)fwlr and found one of the damsel fish pestering it. After a short while the larger fish dove into the sand for cover. Prior to this the fish was finding food in the rocks and working them well. This is the first day, so we will see tomorrow if I can get it to eat other than rock foraging.

I have just purchased a greenback fairy wrasse a month or so ago. It has been a joy to watch in my tank. I was surprised to see that mine had no green to it. It is a purple fish. It has red spots on both sides and red dorsal and ventral fins. It has been completely peaceful, even from the beginning though my regal tang and my hawkfish harrassed it. He adapted well. In only a couple of days the fish was eating any frozen - green or meaty - food that I fed it and some pelleted food as well. I love his swim style of quivering the very end of his dorsal fin to move about. Jan

I believe that is a lunar wrasse and not a bluehead wrasse.
