Description
The Raspberry Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus sp.) is a vibrant and colorful marine fish known for its beautiful blend of red, pink, yellow, and blue hues, creating a striking display in any aquarium. With its peaceful nature and relatively small size of up to 4 inches, this wrasse is a popular choice among both beginner and advanced aquarists looking to add a splash of color to their reef setups.
Hailing from the Indo-Pacific, the Raspberry Fairy Wrasse is well-suited to community tanks due to its peaceful temperament. It is an excellent tankmate for other non-aggressive species and is especially well-matched for reef aquariums, where it will not bother corals or invertebrates, making it a highly reef-compatible fish. Its active swimming patterns and bold colors make it a focal point in any tank.
As a carnivore, the Raspberry Fairy Wrasse thrives on a diet of meaty foods, including mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other marine-based protein sources. It may also accept high-quality frozen or flake foods. To keep it healthy and display its vibrant colors, regular feedings of small portions throughout the day are recommended.
The Raspberry Fairy Wrasse is an easy-care species, making it a good option for aquarists of all experience levels. It thrives in stable water conditions, with an ideal specific gravity of 1.020-1.025, temperatures of 72-78°F, and a pH of 8.1-8.4. While hardy, it does best in tanks with plenty of live rock and hiding spaces, allowing it to retreat when needed.
