The Pinkface Wrasse is often referred to in the form of the Five Stripe Wrasse. This species adds vibrant colors and motion to your aquarium, making it an ideal addition for beginners or experts. Pinkface wrasses can be identified by their vibrant yellow and green body, which is adorned with numerous large pink stripes that run from the mouth and just below the eyes. The tough fish is best kept in a 70-gallon or larger tank, along with other aggressive tank companions and plenty of rock to hide. The fish will get territorial and frequently snarl at new fish added to the tank, so it is recommended to be among the last fish that is added into the aquarium. The species is recognized to consume bristleworms and mantis shrimps along with other crustaceans. They do not consume the corals, live plants, or even live corals. A Pinkface Wrasse diet needs to consist of vitamin-rich frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-rich brine shrimp that are frozen, meaty food items, excellent marine flake, and food made of marine pellets.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
