Pintail Fairy Wrasse
Snapshot: It is a true underwater dazzler. Its colors are a wild kaleidoscope, but most rock a vivid orange or pink body, electrifying blue stripes, and fiery orange fins that pop like a tropical sunset.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 12cm or so. Distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
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!
