Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse: A Jewel for Your Reef

Immerse your aquarium in vibrant color with the captivating Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse. Its peaceful nature and dazzling hues make it a magnificent addition to any established marine setup.

Overview

The Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse (*Cirrhilabrus cyanogularis*) is a stunning marine fish, particularly the males, which boast an expansive, iridescent blue throat contrasting beautifully with their body of reds, oranges, and pinks. Females display more subdued, yet equally charming, pastel shades. These active wrasses are graceful swimmers, constantly exploring your aquarium’s rockwork and open water, adding dynamic visual interest to your reef system.

Care Level

Moderate. The Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse is a peaceful species, ideal for community reef tanks. It coexists well with most non-aggressive marine fish and is completely reef-safe, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates. A secure, tight-fitting lid is essential as these fish are known jumpers, especially when startled.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 265 litres (70 gallons) is recommended for a single Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse, with larger tanks preferred for groups to ensure ample swimming space and rockwork for hiding. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.0-8.4 and temperature 24-27°C (75-80°F).

Diet

As a carnivore, the Blue-throated Fairy Wrasse thrives on a varied diet of high-quality meaty foods. Offer vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, and finely chopped seafood several times daily. They will also accept premium marine flakes and pellets.
