Leopard wrasses

[Naiad]

I am so excited to be acclimating a pair of leopard wrasses! I have wanted these guys for so long. I just wanted to start this thread to document me experience with them and to get as much advice along the way as I can.

The acclimation went well. One went straight into the sand while the other took some time to explore and eat before going into the sand. Hope all is well in the morning. I have heard that they can stay under the sand for a while after being added. I hope it doesn't take too long or I will be a nervous wreck.

Both were out this morning and ate some live brine. The resident wrasse seemed a bit peeved at having company but they seemed to haved settled things with no real fighting. I will still keep a close eye on them. I'm gonna try and snap some pics to post.

Cool! Looking forward to the pics.

So I don't know how some of you guys get such good shots of wrasses. They move so fast! Here are the best I could get.

The little juvenile


The larger female that I hope will turn male.

At least I think that is how it works. If I am wrong please let me know!
