Husbandry

Randall, 1992

Not very often to find (e.g. Tropical Live Import or Welke Lünen)
sensitive during transport like all fairy wrasses.
may eat small food, but very hesitantly; do not socialize with big fish.

Husbandry know-how of owners

Robuster, durchsetzungsfähiger Dauerschwimmer, der immer sichtbar über dem Riffaufbau seine Kreise zieht. Frisst alle angebotenen Futtersorten und scheint sehr gelassen und neugierig zu sein. Selbs das Hantieren im Aquarium oder das Reinigen der Scheiben bringt ihn nicht aus der Ruhe. Wünschenswert wäre, dass die Importeure verlässlicher Weibchen und Männchen zusammen importieren. Die Paar und Gruppenhaltung ist deutlich interessanter.

Einer meiner ersten Fische, kam aus Vanuatu.
Unglaubliche Farben ( es gibt Unterschiede von den Fanggebieten her).Wird recht gross.
Keine Probleme mit anderen Lippfischen oder sonstigen Bewohner. Anspruchslos bez. Futter.
Meiner Meinung nach, recht einfach zu halten.
