General info about Naokos Fairy Wrasse

The Naoko's Fairy Wrasse makes an excellent aquarium fish that is fairly peaceful yet active and hardy. With other peaceful fish, they do well in a community reef or fish-only tank (especially other fairy wrasses from the genus Cirrhilabrus).

Naokos Fairy Wrasse Diet & Nutrition

Though most wrasses are shy on initial introduction, they will become bold eaters and easily adjust to a captive diet. Feed a varied diet consisting of large 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. This fish will learn to eat flake, pellet and other commercial foods.

Naokos Fairy Wrasse Origin

The Naoko's Fairy Wrasse is found in the eastern Indian Ocean

Caution with Naokos Fairy Wrasse

Most wrasses are known to be jumpers, so your aquarium should have a tight-fitting lid, screening or egg-crate covering the top to prevent it from jumping out.
