Sue Scott, Schottland
Info
(Carmichael, 1819)
Very special thanks for the first three photos of the Tristan rainbow wrasse goes to Sue Scott from Scottland.
Sue has taken her photos at Tristan da Cunha, a group of islands in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, lying about 2.400 kilometres away from Africa and about 3.360 kilometres away from South America.
Currently there are no informations about a successful reefkeeping in marine reef tanks and we do not believe, that this beauty will ever come into the trade.

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
