Aquarium Fish Supplies - Gomphosus Coeruleus
LABRIDAE Gomphosus coeruleus The birdmouth wrasse can live in couples, but two males will not tolerate each other. it is easy to keep and its feeding poses no special problems. The adult male is greenblue, the female brown-purple. Size: 30 cm male), 20 cm (female). Labroides dimidiatus This wrasse is “cleaning” an Acanthurus leucosternon. Labroides dimidiatus The cleaner wrasse, with a reputation for being difficult to acclimatize, lives in couples as an adult. It feeds on live prey and it has a highly distinctive habit: it “cleans” other fish. It puts on a show in a specific part of the tank to attract them, and it then frees them of their external parasites or pieces of dead skin. When there are no males available, a female can change sex. Size: 10 cm. THE FALSE CLEANER (ASPIDONTUS TAENIATUS) This is not a Labrid - in fact, it belongs to the Blenniid family - but it closely resembles the true cleaner, although the position of its mouth is different (it is terminal in the true version). It takes advantage of this resemblance by tricking fish into getting cleaned and then tearing off pieces of their skin, or even their branchiae. False cleaners are raised in specific aquariums and fed on crustaceans. On very rare occasions they attack fish belonging to the Labrid family. Size: 10-12 cm. Coris gaimard The adult red coris wrasses sport bright blue dots on a brown-red background; the young are red with white dorsal patches which gradually fade with age. This fish buries itself in the sand, although it is a good swimmer. It feeds on mussels, shrimps, worms, and artificial food. Size: 20 cm.
