Description
The Exquisite Wrasse is a perfect candidate to just about any aquarium and its peaceful behavior, bright coloration, and convenient adult size of 4" makes it very popular by hobbyists. When beginning a new aquarium, the Exquisite Wrasse can live in groups and should be the last fish added because they tend to be harassed by other fish; females should be added before males for the same reason. The male's color will deepen during courtship. It is strongly advised that the aquarium has a tight fitting lid because they are known to jump out. Their diet should include frozen meaty foods like brine shrimp, marine pellets and flakes. On occasion a seaweed strip should be added to add variety to their diet. This wrasse has a high metabolism so they should be fed several small meals rather than two large meals a day. Their colorations are very dependent on which part of the world they come from. The Exquisite Wrasse is found in the waters around Fiji, Maldives, Africa and Indonesia.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. 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. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, 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 aquariums.
