Fairy Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Fairy Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (for smaller species), 50+ gallons (for larger species or multiple individuals)
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful reef-safe fish. Can be kept in groups or harems if introduced simultaneously and provided with ample space and hiding spots. Avoid aggressive tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers. Provide a varied diet of high-quality frozen and live foods. Males will 'flash' their colors during courtship, which is a spectacular display.
