The Temmincki Fairy Wrasse is a stunning and lively species of fairy wrasse. These fish exhibit a predominantly blue body that transitions to pink near their dorsal fins. Female Temmincki Fairy Wrasses display more subdued colors, while males become vibrantly colorful with intense reds and pinks as they mature.

Temmincki Fairy Wrasses can grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. Known for their jumping ability, they should be housed in tanks with secure lids to prevent escape. These peaceful fish coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums.

These wrasses thrive in environments with ample hiding spots and live rock. As peaceful creatures, Temmincki Fairy Wrasses appreciate the ability to retreat into rock formations. They also forage for small invertebrates on the rocks between meals. Only one male should be kept per tank due to potential aggression, but they do well in groups of females or one male with several females.

As carnivores, Temmincki Fairy Wrasses need a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium pellet and flake foods to ensure their health and happiness.
