How is your Bluethroat in your 450 gal tank, after several more months? Is he overtly aggressive toward other wrasses? I got another one from Petco for 25.00. I got about 20 wrasses in my 320 now. My other wrasses are quite a bit bidder than this Bluethroat. I have not decided if I am going to put him into my DT yet.

He was at the Local Petco for more than 3 months. Colors all gone and he become a faded color of his former glorious self. In my DT for only 2 days, with a pair of Flame Angel, and he completely regained his color. Their colors really don't faded, but very much depends on mood and health.


I removed my last Bluethroat because he was aggressive toward the only other Fairy wrasse in the tank. With 20 wrasses in then 320, I think (hope) he will behave better. These guys really have exceptional colors.
