  2. New Potter's Leopard Wrasse

    Over the past several months I have been on the lookout for a Potter’s Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon geoffroy). I very much enjoy the wrasse family and more specifically the various leopard wrasses. I have had good luck with my Blue Star Leopard Wrasses (Macropharyngodon bipartitus) and take that as a sign that my tank is hospitable for leopard wrasses.

I have siphoned, cut way back on feedings, increased water changes, and added GFO. But no luck so far. Of course parameters are all in line which tells me nothing.
