Sounds like a plan. Of course, a little time alone is better, but the fish from "said place" at least go through copper and have a 2 week minimum observation period. Your guy is a little butter ball and has the colouring of a nice low stress fish.
I don't have any experience with 6 lines wrasses. If the wrasse was alright, after training the wasp, the 90 would be a nice tank.

The six line is a mellow little thing, never showed any aggression since I have had it. But I have only had these fish for a couple weeks. I only had the ten and five before and I didn't keep any fish in my five. Just corals and anemones, and that tank is only a couple months old at the most, but I used cycled liverock it was running good from day one. The ten gallon is great. I have it a little overstocked but there is a lot of hiding spots and there isn't any aggression, plus I was planning on an upgrade even though I will still be keeping the 10 and 5, if the fish need more room, the room is available. I have to keep the tank a little overstocked to keep enough algae for the lawnmower, but I love the little guy. I really like the smaller aggressives. I really wanted the orange banded stingfish but am affraid the mouth is just a little to big for the livestock I want to keep in the 90. Maybe someday I will convert my 29 gallon freshwater planted tank into a saltwater for one of those. Is the one you have different than the orange banded stingfish? Cause it looks more colorful.

I noticed that this fish didn't last long. I was trying to figure out how to accommodate him...then you got him. Saved me a lot or juggling & moving, good luck with him.

I can if you think I should. Do you think using that was a no no also? I just thought it was a really good picture, which they won't be using again since they do wyswyg. If you think it would be the right thing to do change it, I can do that. I cleared out the 10 gallon so they will have some nice room in there.

Using the picture as an avatar in is original form... cool. Erasing someone's watermark... not cool. My family was a victim of a copyright infringement years ago... it's always left a bad taste in my mouth. The girl that takes those pictures is not even allowed to post them. I know you don't mean any harm and you just want to show off your fish.
The 10g would be perfect. Do you know how big those small hang on fuges' are so you can get an idea of what size she may show up as?
I think mine was listed about the size of yours... dime size.

Alright, I will change it. You don't think there will be any problem with both the male and the female going in the 10 for a while together? She will be added about a couple days after the mail. I still haven't had any luck getting the zebra to take anything but live food. He comes after everything I try to feed him but stops just short of a strike. I actually got him to strike twice at a small squid tenticle that was curled up and looked like a critter, but he wasn't vicious enough to tear it off the small piece of fishing line I was using to move it around in front of him.

There shouldn't be a problem with the male and female going together.... if their size matches up. The waspfish have small mouths unlike most others in this group. Our male picked on the female for a little bit, nothing major, but would shoo her away every now and then. The male went into the bigger tank, but she was placed with the Fu Manchu for awhile because the other tankmates in the 60g could eat her. She's a VERY slow grower.
Are you feeding shrimp at all? I gut load and then freeze the shrimp and then thaw and put em on a stick. This usually is an easy way to convert. Then I snip off the head and tail so it doesn't look like a shrimp exactly, but they recognize the smell. When I have them on that, I start to offer other types of flesh on a stick.
What weight fishing line are you using?
There's no great hurry to change your avatar... just put your own pic up when ya get it.

I have been just feeding live shrimp every two days if I can't get him to eat cut thawed raw shrimp. Ok, that is the information I was looking for. I started using 50 lb fishing line and I melted the tip just a hair in order to hold the shrimp a little better. I also use 8 lbs with the tip burned.

Oh, and you are the other other one that I know of that has a pair of these. Log any behaviours you see pretty please. You might not see a whole lot yet, because they are going to be sexually immature. We might never see much because I have no idea of their mating/courting behaviours.... they may never do anything for us to see.
