The Yellowfin Fairy Wrasse is a stunning addition to my 150-gallon tank. It’s very active and adds color to the community. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s thriving with proper water parameters.
Rachel Terry –
Great color and movement. I paired it with other wrasses and they get along well. Needs a large tank and stable water conditions, which I’ve maintained.
Christian Pullman –
It’s beautiful, but I noticed it becomes aggressive during feeding. I now feed it separately to avoid conflicts. Overall, it’s a good choice for a larger tank.
