Eightline Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus octotaenia
The **Eightline Flasher Wrasse** is a vibrant and lively fish, known for its striking red body accented with vivid orange tones. Males are particularly eye-catching, featuring bold blue stripes along their bodies. These wrasses grow up to 4 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums.
**Eightline Flasher Wrasses** are excellent jumpers, so it's crucial to house them in tanks with secure lids to prevent escape. They can be kept in groups, provided there is only one male or none at all. These wrasses thrive in environments with ample live rock, offering hiding spots and opportunities to forage for small invertebrates between meals.
As carnivores, **Eightline 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.
