Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus carpenteri

The Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant and colorful fish, showcasing a predominantly pinkish-red body adorned with striking blue horizontal lines and a yellow underside. Males are particularly vivid and can change their colors. These wrasses grow up to 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 40 gallons. They are known for their jumping ability, so a secure lid is essential to prevent escape.

Carpenter's Flasher Wrasses are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums. However, males may show aggression towards other males, so it's best to keep them singly or with females. They thrive with other non-aggressive fish and do not require a sand bed, as they rest within the rock structures.

As carnivores, Carpenter's Flasher Wrasses need a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods will ensure their health and happiness.
