    I have a male melanurus wrasse that has been with me for 2 yrs now.  Absolutely my favorite fish in the tank, but he has decided that he likes the taste of crabs/possibly snails.  Gorgeous fish, will eat anything you throw in the tank.  I'm not asking anything for him as I need him gone and know I live a ways from most people on the boards.  I will be willing to accept any donations frags, etc... I live in Cresco 52136.  He needs to go asap.  I want to trap him out of the main system.

    I also have a 24" 4 bulb t5 retro I need to sell. Was asking $100, could do $75. Includes 4 bulbs with approx 7-8 mos use on them. ATI blue plus and figi purples. Just throwing this up there because it may be more worth a drive.

    I've got a melenurus that is a total dick. He eats snails on the regular, it's something I'm willing to put up with because I love him so much though. I've found that when I keep him well fed he doesn't bother the snails, but go a couple of days, or skimp on the frozen a couple of days in a row and he's always fkin things up, I like his attitude.

    Yeah, mine leaves a cleaner shrimp alone for a few months, but eventually they go missing! But the hunt is on when it comes to peppermint shrimp!!

    You know, come to think of it, mine was actually pretty well behaved for the first 3 years or so, probably because of the abundance of planaria and acoel worms he had to feast on, might have also had to do with size, he's a monster now, getting to be about 7-8"
