baby Mystery Wrasse again

[Len]

Here's another shot of my tiny Mystery Wrasse. The tube worms are the small hitchhiker type, not the giant Hawaiian ones. Small, huh?

Is this the fish you were protecting Len? Cool lookin fish....

Len, how do you even find him in that huge tank of yours???

I can't wait to get mine...two more months...

How's the hog treatin' him? Chasing at all, or has he mellowed out?

Peace,

Chip

Yup, this is the little fella I've been watching out for. It's not shy at all and will swim out in the open often. Kinda fun watching him weave in and out of tiny holes that other fish couldn't.

Hog is behaving himself now. He attacked the Mystery at first, but stopped after I gave him a good wack across the back while he was chasing the Mystery 8O Yes, my hogfish is very domesticated. I can pick him up if need be without a net.

You're kidding, right? I need to see a movie of that!

Peace,

Most of my fish are domesticated. My fairy wrasse will swim into my hands to get food. The angel doesn't seem to care what I do, and the hogfish follows me around probably thinking I've got food for him.

I think that, in and of itself, is amazing.

Let's have some movies of that, Mister Top-o-the-Line Camera.

Peace,

Chip

BTW, Mystery Wrasse is the common name for this species. It's also known as a Five Bar Wrasse.
