Description

Red-Fin Fairy Wrasse Info

Red Fin Fairy Wrasses live in open, hard substrates in the wild, and prefer small groups that have a single dominant male. These fish make a great alternative to Anthias since they provide all the bright coloration however they do not have the high-maintenance feeding routine. They also adapt to the diet of captives faster than Anthias. Males have more ventral fins and are extremely red.

 

Red-Fin Fairy Wrasse Diet

It is able to easily adapt to the diet of a captive fish. Feed a varied diet comprised of finely chopped pieces of meaty meals. This includes krill, seafood that is raw, table shrimp mussel, and clam. It’s also a great idea to supplement the diet with any kind of herbivore diet. They can learn to eat flakes, pellets, and various other foods that are available on the market.
