Fairy Wrasse – Another Great Fish For Beginners

The Scott s Fairy Wrasse, sometimes called the Black-fin Fairy Wrasse or the Black-edge Fairy Wrasse (pronounced ‘war-sigh-ee’) originates from the freezing waters of Northern Australia, Cook Islands, and Fiji. The range collected from Australia has more red in the fin and the black split in coloration in the body is much less dramatic. These fish are carnivores, but do display some silver colored flashes in the fins and on the gill covers. They live in cool rivers and lakes in fresh water but can be found in salt water too.

The Scott fairy wrasse is a rainbow fish, with the body being mostly white with some gray areas. It has an eight-inch fins with a black ring at the outer edge. The two outer bands along the sides are pink and red respectively. The fish is only about four inches long, but grows to about five inches when fully grown.

The fairy wrasse is very good pond fish because it is active and inquisitive; however, there are some considerations to keep in mind. Like all fish, they should be given adequate attention and care, especially during their introduction period with other fish. When choosing tank mates for your fry, the decision should be based on compatibility in terms of size and temperament. For example, do the male and female prefer to swim side by side, or are they different shapes? Would the fairy wrasse be suitable tank mates for the rockrose or bluenhead?

I have had many beautiful fish from India that I would consider to be a fairy wrasse, and all of them would make great tank mates. There are many varieties in the fairy wrasse family, which range from plain-looking fish that is a few shades darker than the Indonesian to brightly colored fish that resemble the tang. However, there is one variety that is most popular among fish hobbyists, which is the red devil. The red devil is another long and thin fish, almost a reddish-orange in color with a pattern of black and white stripes that resemble the flame.

The fairy wrasse is naturally very peaceful and non-aggressive. However, they are shy animals and can often be timid around other pets. When starting a new tank and introducing fairy wrasse to it, a slow steady pace is recommended for them to become comfortable. They like a more gradual change in the environment, therefore, a large change in lights and water conditions would be avoided unless you know your fish well.

Fairy wrasse are another good choice for starting a tank because they are inexpensive, gentle fish that will eat both algae and other types of fish food. This means that a beginner fish will not need to purchase any other species of fish. However, it is important that the fish are separated from each other and that other fish in the tank do not eat the fairy wrasse. It is also recommended that this species of fish to be kept in schools because they will look out for each other in times of stress and are naturally wary of predators. As with all aquarium fish, they should be observed closely to ensure that no diseases exist or that other fish in the tank are not being affected by any sicknesses.
