Hi Artur! I do have some snails that live in the sand and are nocturnal. I also have several brittle and serpent stars that also come out at night. With Wrasses like I have I can't have any shrimp, regular snails that are out during the day, or crabs. They would all become a quick question expensive lunch! 😁

Hi Artur! It is normal for newly acquired sand sleeping Wrasses to bury in the sand for several days upon introduction. 8 days is a bit long, but my Moyers Leopard buried for three weeks when I first put him in the tank. A couple things to do.... don't go looking for the Wrasse in the sand and disturb him.... second make sure the Wrasses are not being bullied by other tank mates, and third keep frozen Mysis or the food you have on hand thawed out and ready to go. When you do see them out make sure and toss food in there. Remember a fish that eat is a fish that lives.....

So, you don't quarantine your wrasses. I did three. I was told to use a low level dose of copper, but it was, I think, too much. Wondering why you don't put them in a non-medicated quarantine tank. Also, do you recommend any for a FOWLR tank with snails.
@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL9 ай бұрын
Nope I don't QT any wrasses, or any of my fish. I know it is risky, but I am not a fan of copper even in low doses. In a FOWLR tank with snails you have a lot of Wrasse options. Fairy and flasher wrasses would leave inverts alone for sure. Leopards are pretty good with inverts too, but with Leopards make sure you have a sand bed! 🙂

I know this is an old video but early on you say that the yellow 'coris' wrasse and the red coris wrasse are in the same family, they are not. The yellow one is Halichoeres chrysus and the red one is Coris gaimard. So different genus, the coris wrasses get alot larger, are more destructive and more agressive. Just wanted to point this out

@glub9075 Yeah that video is way old. I totally misspoke in that video. I have kept both the Coris Gaimard and Halichoeres Chrysus, I favor the Red Coris, I do respectfully disagree that the Red Coris is aggressive and destructive. In my opinion Thalasoma wrasses are much more aggressive. That is my experience, and of course every fish is different with their own personalities. So I personally refrain from using blanket statements about fish in this hobby, nothing is 100%. 😁

IMO you could try it, but it is natural for them to sleep in the sand in the wild, so by not having sand he may or may not adapt.
