Vid of some fairy and flasher wrasses Flashing. keep an eye on the HI Flames, Rhomboid, and Attenuatus Flasher wrasse. they normally start flashing 30 mins before the main lights turn off and during dusk/dawn, when only 2 Blue + bulbs are on.

very nice collection, how long have you had the Attenuatus
and did you add most at the same time ? much chasing going on and size of tank ? and seeing you dont have alot of rock how is the sleeping situation

how did you add the wrasses ?
a bunch at a time?
how did you do that without them fighting?

Thank you all for the kind words again. I appreciate it. makes doing water changes more enjoyable. LoL.

great questions.

I've had the Attenuatus since March of last year. I bought the first one from DD. there was another two that came in but no luck on those once I showed off mine. LoL. my fault. should've been quiet. haven't seen them since. I think they might've come in mixed in with McKosker's from Kenya.

there's always gonna be the occasional chasing around. so far, nothing too serious to worry about though. my oldest wrasses have been together for over a year. I recently added the flashers and anthias. I started adding more fishes last December. maybe 4-5 fishes a month? sometimes, all the same time or 2-3 at a time, depending on availability.

they figured out the sleeping situation. anthias stay mostly on the overhangs. F&F wrasses find their spot. I'm sure by now, they have their favorite spots. the rocks I have are hollow inside so that's a lot room for some of the bigger ones. I also added some rocks in the back and on the sides, specifically for them to sleep on.

I answered the q's above. any other q's, just ask?

That is an amazing video. does having that many fish in your display cause any problems? how many do you have and how big is your tank?

Awesome collection of fish and I love the aquascape. What, and how often, are you feeding?

the tank is 110g. just 2" short of standard 120g. I have over 20 fishes in there, although some are just over 1". with careful planning and selection of fishes, I think you can have a tank you can enjoy with corals and fishes. I do water changes every 5-7 days. it's worth it! if I ever get tired, I have some homes for these fishes ready to take them in.

Thank you. I feed 2-3x/day. 1st feeding is with Formula 1 flakes & Spectrum pellets (0.5mm & 1mm). 2nd & 3rd feeding is a mixed of frozen PE mysis, Brine, Hikari mysis, & RDF Formula 1. I normally do 2-3 cubes every night, but sometimes, I get carried away and do 4. normally the night before I do a water change.
