the only thing tricky about leopard wrasses in my opinion, is getting them to feed. and also they are quite shy. i have had 2 leopard wrasses before. the first one was feeding very well but got killed by my yellow wrasse. it got so scared it just hid in a corner and died. =(

the second one was feeding very well but died because jump out. since then i did not keep anymore..

getting them to feed shoulndt be too hard. they take mysis pretty quickly. just try and maybe he will eat. the sad thing for me is that my yellow wrasse keeps killing them. so i stopped...

make sure no fish chase it coz they are fantastic jumpers -_-

Hmmm... Lets get the LFS people to tell us if its caught by hand or cyanide as if it caught by hand it has higher surviving rate and of course... I dun mind spending 30 bucks on a leopard to see it roam my tank agn... however i'm curious if it'll fight with a mystery cos i'm planning to jump on 1 anytime thr's a shipment... :heh: At a LFS near me :eyebrow:

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
