Description
The Tono’s Fairy Wrasse (Female) is a beautiful and active wrasse known for its vibrant colors that range from shades of red and orange to accents of blue on its fins. This peaceful fish is a stunning addition to reef and community aquariums, where its color and active swimming patterns bring life to the tank environment. With its moderate care level, it is suitable for intermediate aquarists who can provide stable water conditions.
Native to the coral-rich areas of the Indo-Pacific, Tono’s Fairy Wrasse adapts well to reef setups and is generally safe with corals and invertebrates. This makes it an ideal choice for reef tanks, as it will add color without disturbing other inhabitants. However, it may jump, so a securely covered aquarium is essential.
As a carnivore, Tono’s Fairy Wrasse thrives on a diet of protein-rich foods. It should be offered a varied diet of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other frozen or live marine foods. Multiple small feedings throughout the day are recommended to support its active nature and maintain its vibrant coloration.
