Yeah, I'm super excited that the PBT and achilles aren't trying to kill each other! This gives me hope that if they don't do that in a 40-gallon tub, chances are when they get bigger that they won't do it in a 215-gallon tank.The potters wrasse I got is huge! Like 4-5"! I sure hope he makes it through QT but he's doing the weird leopard wrasse thing where they just lay there until they get used to the time change and feel comfortable enough to explore. My current leopard wrasse came out like 10 times in 3 months while in the tub... They are just odd little creatures.
I hope to get some pictures when I swap the tub again for TTM tomorrow. I would have done it the first night but the shipment got delayed and I wanted them in new water ASAP!
Sounds like a good start for the PBT and Achilles. Did you end up getting the PBT from RCA? I saw they had a few for the first Friday sale the other night.
That potters sounds like it's a beast, leopard wrasse can def be finicky and weird. But they are cool fish for sure.
Yeah Rob, I got the PBT that was in the top tank. He was perfectly small, healthy, and ate mysis at the store so I couldn't pass him up. The achilles is so much bigger than him that there wasn't a battle at all. It's like me picking a fight with Shaq...
The potter's wrasse is ridiculous. He makes the 4" achilles look small! I sure hope he makes it through QT. If I didn't have an ich free tank and just an ich-maintenance tank, I would have tossed him into the main tank already. They don't do the best in QT.
I actually ordered an extra fish of everything I got with this batch of fish. Unfortunately, they ran out of an extra potter's wrasse so he's my only hope!
