I got a Lubbock Fairy wrasse yesterday. Put my Laboutei in my DT. My Purple Tang already in it. In my QT are my Yellowfin, Carpenter flasher wrasses and the new Lubbock Fairy.
At the LFS and at Local Petco, there are two Blueside fairy wrasse, C. cyanopleura, for sale. The one at Petco is much cheaper but thinner. I am tempted to get one. Both are eating well. I don't know if I want to QT both the Lubbock and the Blueside at the same time.

Did not get the Blue Side Fairy. The Lubbock disappeared into the rock work and not seen anymore. Hope he is OK but not holding much hope.
Here is the picture of the two Flasher wrasses, Yellow-fin (terminal male) and Carpenter (sub male)

Last Thursday I got this emaciated PBT from Live Aquaria, along with two emaciated Hooded Fairy Wrasse. One of the wrasse was DOA and the other died shortly there after. I think the quality of fish from Live Aquaria (not DD) really goes down hill.
Anyway, they refunded me for the Wrasses. The PBT start eating so I think he will be OK.
It was really sad to see such emaciated but beautiful wrasse. There was nothing I could do for them.

Here is my new Powder Blue Tang. I hope to document his recovery. This is the first picture. Poor guy.

I wrote off my Lubbock Wrasse too quickly. I just saw her tonight in the dark. Hopefully this mean she will be out tomorrow so I can feed her. She is a beautiful small female. Not as thin as I remembered. Maybe she was able to feed behind the rock work.

Heyy Minh. found a Gig for sale. thought you might be interested. Price isn't so bad. But transporting from VA might be a little tough.

I'd jump on it but transporting to Cali is tough..

Just 1 week of heavy feeding, my poor PBT is no longer emaciated. Still thin but I think he is going to be just fine. Here is a picture of him, much better and a straight on picture show him to be full, not as bloated as some of my pigs in the past, but he will eventually develop that beer belly.

I got this pair of baby Regal angels yesterday from a friend. One is 1.5 inches and the other is a tad larger. Both are in my DT at this time. Can see both here. Doing well. The Purple tang bother them a bit but not anything they cannot handle. Wish me good luck please

Last weekend, I got two baby Yellow chest Regal Angels from a friend. Both in great shape. Here is a picture of the smaller one of the two. Need to try to get a good picture of the other.

My Sailfin Fairy wrasse went back to the LFS 5/5/2018. He harassed the Labouti to no end. Not enough to injury or keep the Labouti from eating or loosing weight. Seeing this I deduce that there is no way I can add anymore fairy or flasher wrasses. I have several waiting to be add as soon as I can get my acclimation box. Trapped him without much difficulty yesterday and back to the LFS he went. Too bad that he is sooooo aggressive. He is a very beautiful fish.

Yeah some fairy wrasse can be downright mean, shame though, such pretty and hardy fish. But I love the regals and the tang - it looks so much nicer than the original photo.

...on a lighter note you seem to share my talent in aquascaping!

Beautiful fishes and nice aquascape. I had a Labouti Wrasse before and it got so fat, as fat as a tiny tuna. Great fish.

My PBT and the Flame Angel pair afternoon today. The PBT still have Ich on him but none of the other fish got Ich spread to them. The Flame Pair with the female very pregnant. I am sure they spawned again this evening. This is my office tank so I did not see them spawn.
Now that I trained the PBT to eat Nori on a clip, he will be fat in no time at all. He is gorging himself with Nori as you can see by the size of his stomach. Gain weight quickly.
