Beautiful wrasse. I’ve always swayed away from them due to fear of them being aggressive. Nice to know.

Long Time No See
I am so happy to see my old tank still providing joy to you and your family but also sad that you suffered the crash man. I hope to hear from you sometime my friend. I look to make a comeback next year myself.

I was able to obtained a Diamond Tail Flasher Wrasse last week from NYAquatic. A friend and I ordered two small ones. Both arrived in great condition and eating right away. I even got them eat Otohime Pellets after a few days. This make condition and grow them out much easier. My friend with pick his wrasse up in about 2 weeks, the smaller one, is mine. Only 1 inch, I really need to grow him out some before putting him in my DT. If I am not very careful, my Harlequin Tusk with have a very expensive snack.
Below are pictures of the two Diamond Tail Flashers and a short video of them dinning on Otohine pellets. I also have a larger Carpenter wrasse in this QT tank. Larger one Smaller one Video https://youtu.be/wielPFh1Ky4

I ordered another Diamond back Flasher and got one even smaller than my little one. No mater, After 6 weeks, they grew a lot and developed a lot. Here are pictures of my two current Diamond Back Wrasse
After 6 weeks, this is how he looks now. He started to have elongated 10th dorsal ray, the diamond shape tail, and start to have increase coloration of an initial male. He grew from under 1 inch to 1.5 inches in 6 weeks 3/29/2020 The new one, now about 1.25 inches (was less than 1 inch) Both together

Nice pics. Fish are challenging to photograph.

Daily in AM, light turn on at 6:00 AM. At ~7:00 AM I feed with an frozen oyster or clam on the 1/2 shell. I actually split it in 1/2 and drop it in. Mainly for my Harlequin Tusk, but other fish eat that too. Shells have to be remove every few weeks. Place a 10X10 sheet of Nori in two stations (cut into quarters and place 2 in each). I hand the clips in the water column on fish line to keep sea urchins and snails from getting to the Nori. Add a mixture of flakes, I got all Omega One flakes and mixed them together and frozen mysis, all mixed together and dump into the tank. About about 1/2 of a cubic inch worth of food. I have two Automated feeders each 4 times a day, on hourly (each every 2 hrs) so the fishes get small amount of pellets on the hour from 9:00-4:00 One of the feeder feed Otohime C2 and the other feed TDO Chroma BOOST C2. When I get home in the evening, I feed them what ever I like in the evening. Some time egg roe, some time salmon or tuna, sometime shrimp. I feed the anemone occasionally and when I do I also chopped up what ever I feed the anemone and also dump it into the tank. When I am out of town then the fish just get the automatic feeders. I have a change of heart lately and will try to cut back on my feeding. see my next post

I think I have a major change in thinking regarding the way I feed my fish. I know that terrestrial animals are not healthy when they are fat. They certainly have a shorter lifespan then if they are fit and thin (or at least not fat) It seem to me many of the fish that I see that are very long life, my friend @outerbank, extremely long life clowns, and Yellow tang are not fat. They are not thin but not fat like my fish. Also the almost 20 year in captivity Peppermint angel in Mr. Urakami’s tank, link below, is not fat either. I am fairly certain that this angel live past his normal life expectancy.

You have to do a internet search on the oldest Peppermint angel in captivity. 20 years now. Seeing these very convincing evidences, I certainly think that it is healthy, and certainly not detrimental to the fish if I do not over feed them, and once in a while, fast them for a day or two. I feed my tank a lot. All the Nori the fish can eat and 8+ times a day with automatic feeders and with manual feeding. I will cut down to 6, for a few months and then 4. I will also cut back on the Nori. and will relatively cut down on the manual feeding also. I hope to be ale to keep my fish for as long as it is natural for the species. Seeing these extremely long life example, it will try to adjust my care for them so that hopefully I can successfully replicate these fine examples.
