PowderBlue Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Here's the gig I don't want to tear my entire tank down to catch a fish again so these will be up for grabs but at random times. So if you're in a hurry I'd say the local fish store would be a better bet. If you can be patient it will save you some money and you know you're getting a healthy fish that eats anything from pellets to algae. Rods food, shrimp etc. First is a niger trigger, he is jet black most of time and shows his blue quite well randomly. He's very hard to photograph so here goes nothing lol hrs currently in a full blown reef and shows zero aggression and doesn't nip any coral. 20 bucks Next is my Melanarous wrasse, fair warning he has completely eaten my entire clean up crew except my turbo snails and conchs... Dude is an animal. Eats algae, pellets, frozen, you name it, he eats it. His colors are beautiful and he's not small by any means. I'd say closer to large. I have no idea how to tell if it's a "hovens" I was sold it as a Melanarous. 30 bucks I'm in Oregon city I'll give it a go every day to try and catch them.

Bicyclebill Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Fwiw, I've caught my melanaurus with small fish hook and hunk of shrimp more than once. He always the first to go for it when trying to catch other fish. I've got a. I've one or I'd be going for it. I've got the small barbless hooks and line if you want to give it a try Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 31, 2017 by Bicyclebill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
