Wrasse Flashing

[ZANYMASTER]

Other than for mating,why do they flash?Mine was doing it a lot today for the first time.

 

[Deanos]

To attract a mate & define his territory to other males of his and similar species.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

He's the only fish in there.Strange.

 

[albano]

He's the only fish in there.

Zany, what were you wearing, when the fish saw you? :splitspin

 

[ZANYMASTER]

:tongue1:Funny,Had him for a while and has never flashed til today.Kind of cool though.

 

[Dre]

[ZANYMASTER]

Exquisite wrasse.I'll try to tape it for a few seconds.

 

[Awibrandy]

Nelson, I think the poor fish is bored! Get him some friends to play with....

Exquisite wrasse.I'll try to tape it for a few seconds.

[ZANYMASTER]

Awilda,adding new fish will expose them to ich.Will wait it out.Dre,sorry about your Wrasse.

 

[NYreefNoob]

some species of wrasse's flash more then other's and it is usually a show of dominance, making them look bigger then other fish, or they see their reflection and flash at themselves

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Probably so now that he's in there by himself.
