This is mine that I just got, I think mine is a super male. Yours must be either a sub male.

Best of luck. I’ve been unlucky with them. I think cyanide in a lot of cases. Doing fine in QT no, issues then one morning dead after close to a month. Couple others that made it through QT just withered away and died despite PP treatments and General cure treatments

That’s the first time I heard about it for pintail wrasse. Some divers use cyanide in Philippines, but I thought it is getting less. Hope mine is not the case. |
