Leopard Wrasse ID

Hey Everyone,

Picked up this Leopard Wrasse about week ago and was hoping that someone may be able to ID the fish further.. Anyone know what type of Leopard Wrasse this is?

Sorry for the quality of the picks. Was tough to get get a clear one.

Thanks!!

 

Potter's Wrasse - Macropharyngodon geoffroyi

 

Yup, and they can be difficult to keep. How old is the tank?

 

excellent looking fish RemickJ

Congrats on the new addition

PS - whats the deal with your signature?

 

I thought potters wrasse were blue and yellow? No? The tank is 2 years old.. It's eating PE Mysis and pellets. so far so good!

As for the signature I need to fix it.. It's supposed to display my Aqua Controller stats. Apparently something is wrong with the site that hosts it that's causing it to display that.. Thanks for pointing it out. Going to fix now!

 

the type of leopeard wrasse is one of the easier leopards... I had one and it ate everything like a glutton pig

 

I don't know if this is the case, but nearly all wrasses go through large changes in coloration and markings based on their gender, which is determined by the group of wrasses around them.

 

As always you learn something every day! K+ I thought potters were yellow and blue.. looks like the come in many colors.. So far so good with this one.. my six line chases him at times but after a week they are learning to get along!

 

Hmm... Reminds me more of an Ornate Leopard Wrasse but thats just My Opinion... Looks kinda like mine! Macropharyngodon Ornatus
