Filamentous Wrasse
Snapshot: This Wrasse is a fiery showstopper, rocking a bold red body with a crisp white underside. Its fins glow with flashes of yellow and electric blue markings.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 15cm or so. Distributed throughout the East Indian Ocean, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, and the East Pacific.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: Don't forget the lid — these acrobats are known to make daring leaps from open aquariums! This fish also loves a cozy hideout — think secret nooks and crannies tucked between live rocks, the perfect backstage pass for when it needs a little privacy. Wrasses love their comfort — give them a cozy 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!
