To my surprise, a blue cleaner goby grew up to an engineer goby. Wife was not happy with a fish that looks like a snake.

I like how you whispered as it came out of hiding so he wouldn’t be scared. 😄

Funny video. Your right, at a quick glance you can’t tell the difference. Tanks looking great 👍🏻

I like the mesh top and I also like that it is clean/flush with the rimless edges. Don't be afraid of DIY. You do nice work!

I just saw a couple Yellow Coris Wrasse at my LFS a couple days ago and it reminded me of this video. Had to check their bellies to be sure. 😂

Love that rocks, corals scaping.. great nano tank 👍

Aqueon makes a plastic handle with double-sided tape that stick to the aluminum frame which is convenient. That said, I hate to break it to you but with the way you cut the mesh in the back corner you may as well not even have the lid on there. If a wrasse can fit his head through a hole he can jump through it. It's usually just a matter of time. I learned the hard way with a McCosker's that I had for about 8 months. I had the same type of mesh top, but I had a cutout in the back corner of the tank for wires and a Kessil arm bracket. There was an opening about 1" x .5" that he used to go carpet surfing. In my next tank, I designed everything to be 99.99% covered by using a plastic backstip from Perfecto that I could cut to exact size for any wire or bracket entering the tank.

I too love yellow chorus wrasse!

Well I bought a green wrasse about a year ago that’s now almost full grown and never did turn green. 😡 It’s a silvery greige colour with some tiny yellow and aqua blue stripes near its gills. People have said it’s probably a female.....but I cannot find any info anywhere about this possibility. 🤷‍♀️ It’s still attractive, very active and healthy though, so of course I’ll take good care of it. 😁 Your silver belly looks lovely! The fish I mean....😂😂

Two nice additions the file fish and wrasse. Wrasse adds a nice pop of color to your tank.

In your clip from the pet store the camera passes a Falco Hawkfish. You 100% should go back and get this fish for one of your tanks. I have had one for 2 months now and they are such friendly fish when I come in the room he goes where ever he’s closest to me and I can see his eyes looking at me. I think it would be so cool to see you experience this on your channel.

I think the silver belly yellow wrasse looks good. He’s healthy & eating 👍 I have a yellow wrasse and he’s all over the tank hunting for food. 😎

I was in shock over the store guy's method of catching the fish.

I think the silver belly looks better. And just to add I like your background music. Every time I hear it I now associate it with you.lol.. Appreciate you sharing your story and looking forward to update on your new tank build. Hope you're having a great day brother👊😎

Looking good👊👍

Still a beautiful wrasse

I had the same issue. I picked up a pigmey angel from HOT and then a day or two later I realized I had got the Pacific one which looks like the Caribbean one except with a cream colored tail. At a glance it's hard to tell them apart. I returned it after long enough to not stress it out.

I know this video is old but I just did the same damn thing. Looking at fish online and seeing my what I thought I bought a yellow coris wrasse and looking at actual yellow coris wrasses. Wondering why my wrasse had a white belly then I researched yellow and white coris wrasse and came across this video which I newly subbed too this channel

All good, now everybody will want a silver belly wrasse instead of a yellow coris wrasse. #trendsetter lol. Mesh top looks good on the tank. Nice job

About 5 years ago when i was knew to this hobby I thought yellow tangs were juvenile purple tangs. I picked one up and after 1 year i was like hold up this is weird. I searched it up and I felt like an idiot even to today

I just did the same thing! It’s okay, I love my Silver Belly!

Your tank is always looking great, man and your fish is pretty nice. Reminds me of the three wrasses I wild caught, they were sand divers and swam and moved exactly like yours. One was completely black and the other was gray with black markings. The third one had some red stripes on the side. I kept them for more than a year but was never able to identify them. Anyway, they ended up jumping out (not at the same time) because they get spooked easily, was really sad. So make sure you keep that screen top on. Just my experience.

Looks like you got a yellow silver belly wrasse. Gets a bit bigger than yellow coris wrasse. More aggressive. May not play well with other wrasses. Yellow coris are more easily bullied and dive into sand and can stay “sleeping” for days to weeks sometimes if bullied. Yup, wrasse jump. Lunar wrasse and melanaris wrasse nice too. Lunar can be a bit more crazy and aggressive. Melanaris more mellow but can be bullies too. One other group to look for are small Christmas wrasse and pencil wrasses.

in my opinion he shows hospitalism - just swims circles in one place... in german encyclopedia they recommend 800 liter (210 gallon) for this fish...

Almost want to add sand to my tank watch this , great video.

Awesome first time learning about the silver bellied wrasse

I just did the same thing you did today! For the love of God! Saw it eat at the store and hope it eats for me. I bought the damn thing and felt so smug too. Then I noticed the silvet belley.

Nice confusion man! I love your tank!! It is my inspiration

I was gonna buy an Emperor Angel and I ended up with a Koran Angel. I kept him anyways until he passed away. I might get another one now knowing the difference between the two as Ive grown and learned my lesson. Had no regrets though

Nice aquarium man 👌🤿

I got the same fish and had no idea it was not a yellow coris wrasse.

Hmmm, I've been thinking about a midas blenny as my next fish because i want a splash of yellow aswell, but i may need to reconsider.......btw, yasha looks good. Mine dove into the sand when i transferred him out of quaritine about 4 months ago and has never been seen again :/ Literally scared to death is the only thing I can think of.

Do you know if they make mesh lids for bow fronts? I like that wrasse> I am so tired of buying fish that just hide or say in the back of the tank! Might be because of my mean figi blue devil! i have seen you catch many fish. Where did you get the string activated one? I cant find one like that!

Love em

My favourite wrasse

Ik this video is old but I literally bought what I thought was a yellow corris about an hour ago. I see this video and i decide to check myself to see if I had made the same mistake and yep.....definitely a silver belly.....

Love the Dem donkey shirt 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏻💪🏻

Happend to me also... wanted a royal gramma but got a bicolor dottyback instead! Enjoyed the video! 👌👌👌

At 9:04 in this video there’s a really cool red/white fish in the back next to the wrasse. What is that? It’s so cool I want one!

Good job on the mesh top and how do you get that dry rock stick to the side with magnets teach us 🥺❤️

Very nice looking magnetic rock. Who makes that?? I’m going to check see if you made a vid on that!

I got a blenny that grew up to be a sandsifting goby

That tank is amazing 😍

I don't know now if I've got a banana or corris wrasse ,it's definitely not a silver belly

Literally the same story happened to me, I bought two wrasses thinking they were Coris wrasses but they turned out to be Silver Belly Wrasses.

thats how wrasses works

Yoo I was watching your video and heard you say a store in Frederick and I was like wait what I live five minutes from Frederick, that’s crazy lol

Damn we need more storytime ish videos!! Anyways this video reminded me of Mustang for some reason. What actually happened to him? Did I miss a vid?

Looks great.

Always great content 👍👍

i love ur humour

I bought a scopes yellow tang rather than a Hawaiian yellow tang and paid big money for that fish huhu greeting from phil loved your videos !:)

Great vid as always

My yellow coris and silver belly wrasse don't seems to be able to tell each other apart either as they spawn together in my tank 😆... We don't judge here 😛

May be the wrong get fish but dang he's gorgeous brother

I have never done a reef tank before but I see yours and it looks fantastic but I have a subtropical that is fresh water and have kept tropicals from neons To Oscars that are full grown and mouth brooders and albino catfish that was approximately 15in long but I have been looking to go to marine tank for a while and your tank is my inspiration just so that you know I am in the UK so more power to you.

I’m thinking about getting the wrasse that you thought was a canary wrasse. I like the look of the two tone that the yellow and purple wrasse has. Also that is its actual name I’m not just describing its color.

Got my yellow wrasse maybe about a month ago and he hasn’t popped out the sand since the first day I got him 🥲scared he’s dead what should I do

It’s hard to tell them apart when they’re buried under the sand 😉

My mum got that wrasse you thought it was, is it also know as the canary wrasse? Has a lovely shimmer of purple in the tail. Likes the top of tank roaming in the current ours. P.s like how you have know added some fish to ur aquarium was needed.

I picked up a royal dottyback thinking it was a royal gramma didnt realize it was the wrong fish till it killed 2 cleaner shrimp a bangai cardinal and caught it attacking my clownfish.. expensive mistake when I first started reefing years ago

unrelated but I have to ask. You did a vid on your 10 gallon and I'm a budget reefer so I need to know! you said that your hydrometer is usually off AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, which direction is off? to high or to low. Side note, where do you like to keep your salinity I try to max it out.

I bought a piece of live rock from petco and it came with 4 snails 3 hermit crabs 1 emerald crab and 1 neon dottyback which everything else was fine but that dottyback man it was a pain!

Does radial filefish nip clam and corals?

Nice to see someone local doing reefing videos , do you still go to fintastic?

Always love the wrasses , very entertaining fish always active. Do you do any quarantining of your fish or use safety stop ?

I had a yellow coris wrasse and it jumped out through a tiny crack...tragic! It was a great fish

Was this a coris or a halichores?

lol goes outside to go back inside...what you do for the video lol

Brilliant tank love it

Have u had trouble with the file fish picking at corals yet ? I really need summit for aiptasia but the last one I had took a liking to my LPS and spesh my prized scolly

How can you tell the difference between the yellow coris and silver belly when the silver belly as yet to show?

Where did u get the top kit at do u have a link ?

What type of clams are those ?

i was given the wrong fish... i got a black snowflake clown and it was sold to me as a Picasso clown

I love wrasse fish! I’m doing a new build going to a 75gal and was thinking of doing bare bottom. I’ve been worried though that if I don’t have sand and keep wrasse they will get stressed with no sand to hide in and develop issues or die from over stress. What are you thoughts? Also you inspired me to start doing a bit of KZfaq...so I’ll be doin my first under the name Cowabunga Reefer!

Mine jumped to his death. lesson learned i now have screen tops bought through BRS for both my 10 and 40 IM tanks.

How is your tank stand build coming along...

I also got the wrong fish. Because I love yellow. And my fish has dig in the sand

Well here they all silver belly and still we call it yellow.

Any issues with the Yellow/Silver Wrasse and the clam?

nice tank

Ive been wanting a yellow wrasse for a long time now after mine jumped ship a year ago. Until today I haven’t gotten one cause its always sold out so quick. The other day i went to the store and saw what looked like yellow wrasse and i told the owner i wnated one of those and he was like wait whuttt. He was like thore are yellow candy hogfish. I was like oh shit lol do you have any yellow wrasse too and he said yea he has one but when he tried to catch it it dove under the sand bed and he didnt want to mess up the sand so he told me to come back another time. When i went back the next time after they got a new shipment, he said all the yellow wrasses have been places in their coral tanks and cant be caught too. Wtf i still haven’t gotten that wrasse yet....

when i first started i wanted a royal gramma, but the shop sold me a royal dottyback..

arent file fish supposed to pick on coral and kill invertebrates?

Your aquarium look perfect. Can you let me know your aquarium size ?

Nice video enjoyed watching :)

Silver Belly? Is that like the Lemon Meringue (white belly) wrasse? www.melevsreef.com/critter/lemon-meringue-wrasse

Even with my top on my 6line jumped into the weir box

You had check to see if mines was a silver lol

I made the same mistake. Didn’t know there was a difference. Whoever this silver wrasse has been awesome and a great mistake

Could I mix a yellow wrasse with a sixline

Hehehehhe

Ha that was funny 😄

👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏

Oh today I pushed a big ant into the tank, and my bangi cardinal ate it wow

Res, i thought i was buying Dario Dario, but i bought scarlet badis

I never buy the right fish. That's why I stop buying them. Lol

When I first started keeping tropical fish I went to the local pet store and bought what I Was told was a dwarf pleco but ended up being a synodontis / African upside catfish, he doubled in size within a month and I’m still yet to find out his exact species despite extensive research. This is him; www.reddit.com/r/Aquariums/comments/e6oexf/help_identifying_pls_can_someone_please_identify/? I love him to bits and he is a beautiful fish so was happy to keep him, he lives in my lost jungle inspired planted tank and his illusion, solitary nature and striking tiger markings lead me to call him shere Khan after the tiger in the jungle book . but it was a lesson to never buy a fish without researching the species and making sure you can best identify what exactly it is in the store before buying. I live in rural England and so being able to easily find a specific fish I want is hard, avoiding the impractical nature of ordering online or travelling to a bigger city; browsing local fish stores for gems is the one aha.

Most wrasses will eat your crabs and shrimp... fyi.
