Curator's Note

Wrasses are known to jump from aquariums. Be sure to have some sort of covering with no large open holes that they can escape from.

Other Common Names

Purplelined Fairy Wrasse

Description

The Lineatus Fairy Wrasse is considered by many hobbyists to be “The Holy Grail” of fish. Relatively easy to adapt in captivity but less frequently available, the Lineatus Fairy Wrasse will be shy upon introduction but become bolder in time and spend more time actively in the water column. If you will have more than one, add all females and other fairy wrasses first as the male Lineatus Fairy Wrasse may behave aggressively to any new introductions.

Diet

Easily adjusts to captive diet. Feed a varied diet consisting of finely chopped chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet. Will learn to eat flake, pellet and other commercial foods.
