Radiant Surprise

[ireefny]

I bought a Radiant wrasse a couple of weeks ago & never saw it since, I was in a LFS & saw the chance to replace him last sunday, then I came down to feed yesterday & saw this......

[manyfish]

lucky you two with no problem :thrash:

 

[KathyC]

Hmmm..that curling of their bodies tells me they are quite the happy couple! Good luck them both Dex!

 

[lunner]

That happen to me when I first got mine. It was gone for like 3 days!

 

[reefman]

buy another, make it a 3 some.
btw:where did u get them?

 

[ireefny]

one came from Pets Warehouse & the other is from Aqua Hut, bothe are in Suffolk County.

is it normal for me not to see them for days? how would they eat?

 

[Awibrandy]

That is a beautiful pair you have there Dex! Enjoy!

My radiant never hides, and mine also came from pets warehouse.

 

[DevIouS]

Not for that long Dex.
Mine were added at different times. The 1st hid for about a day or 2, the 2nd never hid.

Well that's my experience with them

This is not abnormal either. Sometimes wrasses that bury in he sand have their internal clocks messed up and it takes them a few days to adjust to the day/night cycle in their new homes. This is particularly true for Leopard wrasses ( Marcropharyngodon sp.) It is entirely possible your 1st radiant was busy swimming about in the middle of the night.

Nice pair BTW.

Very true...
I did notice this with my Radiants.
When first introduced, they would be the 1st to disappear......way before my lights went out.
A few weeks later, they stay up with the rest of the crew....:goldfish2

 

[ireefny]

thanks guys & gals.

Phil, how do I know if they are a boy/girl?

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Dex, you managed to spawn yourself without knowing how to tell?

 

[Zoous]

Very nice. Is sand a requirement to keep these wrasses?

 

[NYreefNoob]

wrasse's

great looking pair of fish, yes they need a sandbed, and one of mine use to hide occasionally for a few days at a time
