(SPECIAL ORDER) Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse: Male
The Blue-Sided Fairy Wrasse is a small, vibrant reef wrasse native to the Indo-Pacific, commonly found around coral-rich reef slopes and lagoons. A minimum tank size of 50–75 gallons is recommended, with plenty of live rock for hiding and establishing territories. Ideal water parameters are 72–78°F, salinity 1.020–1.025, and pH 8.1–8.4. Blue-Sided Fairy Wrasses are carnivorous, feeding on zooplankton, small crustaceans, and mysis shrimp, and should be offered a varied diet of frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and high-quality marine pellets. Males are peaceful and colorful, ideal for reef tanks with non-aggressive tankmates, and thrive in groups with one male and multiple females to reduce aggression and encourage natural behavior.
