European Wrasse Fans?

[Anonymous]

Is this wrasse available in the European aquarium trade?

Lappanella fasciata

Range is from Madeira Islands to Mediterranean, temps from low 60's to high 70's. Cool looking fishy!

Matt,

At first I thought that picture from your tanks - but, I see that its from FishBase. I've been working with joetbs to get some W. African fish that range up into the Mediterranean for our Med. exhibit, and there is an analog species in that genus from W. Africa.

Sounds cool Jay. Any Anthias anthias planned? I've always drooled over that one.

Matt,

We have three of them, plus snipefish and boarfish. Our maile does not look anything like the "super males" in your shot. I've long wondered if there are different sub-species of these.
