Man I've watched this 3 times now. I watched your older video many more times and learn something new each time. Currently I'm pushing my luck with mixing different wrasses and spreading the aggression has helped a ton. My biggest issue is my Lineatus vs pintail. Just some chasing but nothing crazy.

I consider long term as at least 2 years, but better in the 3-4 year range.

I've seen captive-bred Hawaiian cleaner wrasses...do you think those would do okay?

Hey, I really want to quarantine corals and inverts, but I cannot as I live in a tropical country where the water can reach 114 degrees Fahrenheit. So, I can only quarantine fish. I could quarantine corals and inverts but I would need a chiller and it’s too expensive, so my parents won’t allow me to. So what should I do? Please let me know. Thanks a lot. Please reply.

Just an incredible talk. Well done hunter. Maybe when you retire from engineering you can go back and do some real science and get a PhD in wrasse biology :)
