Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse
Snapshot: A bold blue stripe pops against its snowy white back and belly, maybe tinged with a hint of yellow.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 11cm or so. Range extends from the Red Sea through the Indo-Pacific region to Japan and eastern Australia, extending into Oceania. This extraordinary fish sets up shop as a personal spa for other species, offering a VIP treatment to rid them of pesky parasites. It even dares to tidy up inside larger fish's mouths and gills!
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Mature and well established aquarium. Expert aquarists only.
Aquarium set-up: While they're not overly picky, stick to classic reef tank conditions. Give these energetic wonders plenty of space to frolic, and ensure they're surrounded by a diverse cast of characters in your community tank. And don't forget the lid — these acrobats are known to make daring leaps from open aquariums! Wrasses love their comfort — give them a cozy fine sandbed to burrow into when they need a snooze or sense trouble. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Keep your Wrasse in top form with a gourmet diet of vitamin-enriched frozen mysis and brine shrimp, alongside high-quality marine flakes and pellets.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
