Tupac is a killer

Tupac ( mystery wrasse) has claimed hos newest victim one of the 5 cromisis we had!!!

Along with the cromisis he also killed our big cleaner shrimp and ate him whole head and all.

To me it doesnt make since because the shrimp was in there before he was and they got along perfectly till i found the shrimps head in his mouth same with the cromis.

Now i am worried about the diamond goby (murph dirty) because if he wasnt able to burry himself in a hole he would already be gone since the wrasse has been hasing him since he was added even tore his fins up hardcore.

I feel sorry for my fish and dont wanna find another eaten this includes the rest of the cromisis, weezy and baby (allard clownfish), murph dirty, and the royal gramma.

 

Ah, no, this makes perfect sense as a Mystery Wrasse is still a member of the Pseudocheilinus genus, a genus which can have nasty attitudes. It's also a genus which needs to be housed with the right combination of tankmates, as you are finding. They find shrimp tasty.

There was a great article in Tropical fish this month on this genus: Small, but Pugnacious: The Pseudocheilinus Wrasses (Full Article) | Details | Articles | TFH Magazine®

 

Don't name the fish... very bad to name the fish...

 

...you saying people get too attached?

 

Me? The person who boarded fish for 10 months (and counting)? ;D

 

I love my fish though they r the onpy pets ive ever had its hard to not get attached or name them

 

Are you sure it's really a Mystery Wrasse? How small was the cleaner that the head fit inside the wrasses mouth?

 

Eh, nevermind, I looked at your pics. It odd, Mystery Wrasses are usually well behaved.

 

My fish are just there to feed the corals

 

Wasn't a small cleaner he was prob a med sized guy.

We have coral as well. Very pretty!! I especially like the zoo's I picked out which are green, yellow, and orange.
