I got one from them like 2 months ago and I was told they are hit or miss for survival. I acclimated him and threw him right in...still alive and doing well til this day....good luck

 

[Mattl22]

I have 1 in my display for around a yr but it lost all it's color I saw these 2 and figure I'll throw them in and see what happens maybe my established one will color up

Pseudojaloides sp. Pencil wrasses are the 2015 version of Macropharyngodon Leopard wrasses from 5-6 years ago---fish that prior were essentially impossible to keep but due to improved collection/shipping and husbandry people are beginning to have some success with. Still, a very hit and miss, difficult genera longterm. Good luck with them.

With their colors I thought they were going to be expensive...mine is a good 4" and was for $29.99

Does anyone know for sure weather one is female one is male

Does anyone know for sure weather one is female one is male

They are both males -- the striped one is P. cerasinus and the other P. servernsi.

 

[Mattl22]

Thanks Pratt I often wondered if the one I have now in display turned female and that's why color lost should be interesting adding these 2 see what happens

 

[prattreef]

you need to get some sand in there so they can bury at night.

 

[prattreef]

females of both species are almost solid orange.

 

[Mattl22]

Have sand in container can see in bottom of pic
