Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
The Exquisite Wrasse is a perfect candidate to just about any aquarium and its peaceful behavior, bright coloration, and convenient adult size of 4" makes it very popular by hobbyists. When beginning a new aquarium, the Exquisite Wrasse can live in groups and should be the last fish added because they tend to be harassed by other fish; females should be added before males for the same reason. The male's color will deepen during courtship. It is strongly advised that the aquarium has a tight fitting lid because they are known to jump out. Their diet should include frozen meaty foods like brine shrimp, marine pellets and flakes. On occasion a seaweed strip should be added to add variety to their diet. This wrasse has a high metabolism so they should be fed several small meals rather than two large meals a day. Their colorations are very dependent on which part of the world they come from. The Exquisite Wrasse is found in the waters around Fiji, Maldives, Africa and Indonesia.
