Just wondering who has managed to keep a Blackspotted Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon meleagris) for any extended amount of time. My third attempt just died this morning after only 3 days in my tank along with a Christmas Wrasse from the same LFS. I'm not sure what to think as both fish were fine one minute, then laying on the sand with labored breathing the next within 12 hours of each other. There are no external signs of damage or parasites.
I did have a bit of a pH dip over the past several days (dropped down to 7.96), but I wouldn't have thought it would be enough to wipe out two fish like that.
