$49.99

-

A Whip Fin Wrasse is a native of the Indian Ocean. This is a distinct wrasse due to its dorsal fin which could be longer than the fish. The body of the wrasse is an intense red hue while the lower portion is white. The dorsal fin, on the other hand, is color-coated yellow bordered by blue. Males in courtship show off their stunningly colored fins to try to convince their partner. The colors can vary based on the mood of the fish. The Whip Fin Wrasse is a tranquil active fish that can add color and energy to a reef or fish-only aquarium that is 55 gallons or greater. If they are kept in conjunction alongside others like Cirrhilabrus or Paracheilinus wrasses, they could become territorial and even dominate other species of the same type. Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse is not harmful to corals or invertebrates, making it the perfect fish to be kept in the aquarium reef. These wrasses love jumping and therefore a secure canopy is advised. A Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse diet should comprise vitamin-rich frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp that are frozen, as well as other meaty meals, along with an excellent sea flake and marine pellets. Approximate Size of Purchase: Medium: 1-3/4" to 2 3/4"; Large: 2-3/4" to 3-1/2"

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.
