Description
The Timor Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus sp.) is a stunning and vibrant species of wrasse that boasts a colorful array of hues, including orange, yellow, blue, and green, with intricate patterns across its body. Its striking appearance makes it a highly sought-after fish for marine aquariums. The Timor Wrasse is native to the Indo-Pacific, particularly around Timor and surrounding regions.
This species is semi-aggressive and should be housed with other robust, peaceful fish in a tank with plenty of space to swim. It thrives in well-established aquariums with live rock for hiding and foraging. While it can be kept in a reef tank, caution should be taken as it may nip at small invertebrates or disturb certain corals.
The Timor Wrasse is carnivorous and requires a varied diet of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other meaty marine foods. Offering a mix of live, frozen, and prepared foods will help maintain its health and vibrant coloration.
With its beautiful color patterns and active swimming behavior, the Timor Wrasse is an excellent choice for experienced aquarists looking to add a vibrant and unique fish to their aquarium. Proper care and attention to water conditions and diet will ensure that this stunning fish thrives in a well-maintained tank.
