The Conde's Fairy Wrasse is a vibrant and striking fish, known for its predominantly red body and black dorsal fin accented with yellow. Males often display a deeper red hue. These wrasses grow to about 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are excellent jumpers, so a secure lid is essential to prevent escapes. Generally peaceful, they coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums.
While Conde's Fairy Wrasses are generally calm, they can show aggression towards each other, particularly males. It's best to keep them in groups of females or one male with several females to minimize conflict. They thrive in tanks with established live rock, which provides a natural source of tiny invertebrates for them to snack on between meals.
As carnivores, Conde's Fairy Wrasses need a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods to ensure their health and happiness.
