There are some really nice aquariums in here! Does anyone know what kind of wrasse is in the specimens shot, he is the last photo? I thought it was a 6line at first but he is much prettier.

Thanks, I just got lost on their site for around an hour. I also forwarded that link to everyone I know so YOU just contributed to about 100 people slacking off for awhile. :)
Did you hear about them on Invincible's blog? I did but ignored the link because I knew it would attribute to a visual feast and lead me to do things like rescape my entire tank. I have Sean to thank for that link. haha. :)

It looks like a 12-line wrasse, but I could be wrong. Those filaments are throwing me off.

That is what was confusing me, I've never seen a 6, 8, or 12 line with filaments like that.

And you are very welcome Erik! I was looking at their planted aquariums and now I have about 20 new ideas for my tank.

Their planted tanks are just WOW. Simple and effective.

Yep, that's what my planted tank wants to be when it grows up!

Pseudocheilinus Tetrtaenia - 2.9 inches - aka Fourline or Twelveline Wrasse. It depends who's counting which lines. Your Sixline would look close to that too, if it was aggitated or if it saw a rival. -SoLiD

Try www.marinecenter.com (http://www.marinecenter.com) like I posted earlier. I have not seen nor heard of them being readily available. Supposed to be a little better mannered than 6-lines.

I've seen a few for sale, only cause I worked with fish for over 6 years.
