A few days ago I picked up this guy (Exquisite Wrasse) from Williamstown Aquarium.
He's the first of the 4 fairy wrasse males planned for this tank, which he is currently sharing with a pair of Chromis.
We've decided to name him Loki.

He has been eating like a pig but is still a bit shy. With each passing day he's been getting bolder and colours have improved.

This is the best picture that I've been able to get of him so far (I adjusted the colour balance to reduce the blue). Once he's out more I'll try for a better photo.

We named him Loki after the norse god - thought it suited him because of his tricky swimming through the rocks

Jordani and Lineatus are in.
Originally I was keen on a Scotts for the fourth, but have concerns he will be too aggressive... currently undecided between a pintail (isosceles/lanceolatus) or rhomboidalis.

I would say dont put the scotts in, between their jumping and aggression he may cause you issues

Ive never had an issue with our lanceolatus. Very placid

@Wrangy could advise on his experience with rhomboid

Looks exquisite but Loki is supposed to be God of mischief Name him that and you are in trouble.:p. How about Poseidon instead.. God of Oceans

My Rhomboid has been a gem :) doesn't care about anyoje else and isn't shy. That being said he's only just started turning into a fully fledged male so thing might change a little. Lanceolatus are very pretty and placid wrasse :)

Thanks, but I like Loki. Sure he'll give me grief whatever I call him :p
