Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Dusky Margined Wrasse is a hardy, active and useful fish. This wrasse prefers to be added to well established aquariums with a sandy substrate and lots of rockwork. The Dusky Margined Wrasse likes to submerge itself in the sand when frightened or to sleep so be sure any rockwork is secure because this act could disturb the rocks. When feeding, give a varied small meaty diet multiple times a day as they are very active and keeping them full will help keep them away from desirable inverts. They are known predators of a myriad of unwanted pests like fire worms and pyramidellid snails. The Dusky Margined Wrasse prefers to be the only one of its species in the aquarium. They have an adult size of about 6". This wrasse is a great choice for reef aquariums because they will not bother corals/anemones but if they get hungry enough, they may go after shrimps and snails. Juveniles and females are duller in colors compared to males.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
