I believe my 6 Line Wrasse have had a bunch of little Wrasse. (They are the only fish pair I have and the female looked pregnant in May). My tank has dozens of these fry in it and I have been able to move dozens more to a 10 gal tank. I first noticed the fry in June. They were very tiny/ barely visible white dots, today they are still very small, maybe an 1/8th of an inch.

I have two questions. Any idea what I should feed them? So far just frozen shrimp blended is what I have done. The second is what can I expect to happen in my 75 gal reef tank if a couple of dozen fry start getting bigger. I am concerned about water quality. I just don't know how long this will take before they get large enough to cause a problem.
 
I have no idea abut wrasse but there is a very detailed thread called Picasso clowns right now that detail how he raises his fry and some good ideas for you.
 
I will let everyone know when they are bigger. They are two months old and are still tiny (1/8 to 1/4 inch. Some starting to get a little color. I think it will be several months longer. Does anyone have any ideas on the growth rate?
