Conde's Fairy Wrasse
Snapshot: This wrasse struts a bold red back with a crisp white belly, while the male sports a jet-black dorsal fin outlined in electric blue. To keep things interesting, this wrasse’s colors shift with its mood.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 7.6cm or so. Range extends around the tropical waters of Melanesia.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Thick sandy substrate needed.
Aquarium set-up: Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes. 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.
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!
