In the wild it is associated with reef faces, lagoons, coral bommies, rubble zones or open outer-reef water depending on the species. These environments are warm, oxygen-rich and highly stable, with abundant live rock surfaces, small crustaceans, plankton, worms, algae films, sponge growth and coral-associated life. Replicating that stability in captivity is more important than chasing quick fixes. A mature aquarium with biological filtration, good gas exchange and established microfauna gives this species the best chance of adapting to prepared foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoorish Idol has a distinctive profile: a thin, disc-like body, a pointed snout and elegant, flowing fins, with clean reef colours that stand out under marine lighting. Adult size is typically around 23 cm. Patterning is used for recognition, camouflage and social signalling on the reef. Many butterflyfish show eye stripes, body bands, yellow highlights or contrasting black-and-white markings, while bannerfish and idols carry elongated dorsal filaments that create dramatic motion in open water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis species is best described as Peaceful to semi-peaceful. It should be housed with tank mates that allow it to feed confidently and do not harass it during the settling period. Suitable companions include peaceful tangs, rabbitfish, gobies, wrasse, anthias, chromis, cardinalfish and other non-aggressive marine fish of appropriate size. Avoid mixing with highly aggressive triggers, large predatory wrasse, bullying damsels or established fish that dominate feeding areas. Multiple butterflyfish can work in larger aquariums, but shape, diet and territorial behaviour need to be considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffer a varied diet based on Omnivore; sponge-based foods, nori, mysis, clam, enriched brine shrimp and quality pellets. Feed small amounts two to three times daily while the fish settles, then maintain a consistent routine. Newly arrived butterflyfish often respond well to frozen mysis, enriched brine shrimp, clam on the half shell, finely chopped prawn, mussel and specialist sponge or angelfish formulas. Soaking foods in vitamins can help condition the fish. Do not rely on dry food alone until the fish is eating strongly and maintaining body weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinimum aquarium size is 500 L, with 700 L+ recommended for long-term care. Maintain temperature at 24–26°C, pH 8.1–8.4 and salinity at 1.024–1.026 specific gravity. Moderate to strong water movement, bright to moderate marine lighting and strong protein skimming are recommended. Provide open swimming space as well as caves, ledges and live rock for grazing and security. Complete regular water changes of 10–20% and keep nitrate and phosphate controlled. Reef status is With caution; coral safety: May nip soft corals, LPS, sponges and sessile invertebrates; invert safety: Caution with sessile invertebrates.

Females and juveniles are dark with fine white to yellow spotting, while males become more boldly marked.

It picks constantly at rock and sand for tiny invertebrates and buries in the sand at night and when threatened. Replicating this environment is essential: it must have a moderately fine to fine sand bed to bury in, plus mature live rock rich in copepods and small invertebrates. A new or sparsely stocked tank without natural micro-fauna is a common cause of failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Black Leopard Wrasse has a dark body finely spotted and lined with white, cream or yellow, giving a leopard-like pattern. It reaches around 12 cm, with dominant males the largest and most marked. Colour and pattern differ between phases. Healthy specimens are alert, actively picking at the rockwork and sand, and well-filled through the body. A thin, sunken wrasse or one that stays buried and will not feed is a serious warning sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is best described as peaceful and rather shy. It is reef safe and safe with corals, and it helps control flatworms, small bristleworms and pest snails. Suitable companions are other peaceful fish such as clownfish, small gobies, chromis, fairy wrasses and dartfish in a calm reef. Avoid boisterous or aggressive tank mates and fast feeders that will outcompete it, as this timid fish is easily stressed and starved in a busy tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeding is the main challenge. It naturally grazes tiny live invertebrates all day, so a mature tank with an established population of copepods and amphipods gives the best chance of success. Offer frequent small feeds of enriched live and frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp, copepods, small mysis and finely chopped seafood, and encourage acceptance of frozen foods over time. Feed several times a day and watch body condition closely, as this species declines quickly if it is not getting enough tiny foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor any real chance of success, provide a mature aquarium of at least 200 L, with 280 L or larger preferred, and crucially a moderately fine to fine sand bed for burying. Maintain temperature at 24–27°C, pH 8.1–8.4 and salinity around 1.020–1.026. Moderate flow suits it. Lighting can be standard reef lighting. Provide plenty of mature, pod-rich live rock. Strong filtration, protein skimming and regular water changes of 10–20% are recommended. A tight-fitting lid helps, as wrasses can jump.

It is a strong, fast swimmer that grazes constantly. Replicating this environment means providing very strong, well-oxygenated flow, mature live rock with abundant algae, and a large expanse of open swimming space. A newly set-up or small aquarium is entirely unsuitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Clown Tang has a bright orange to blue body crossed by bold blue-edged horizontal lines, with blue-and-yellow fins and a powerful tail. It reaches around 38 cm and is heavily built. Like all surgeonfish it carries a sharp scalpel near the tail base, and in this species it is used freely, so respect it during any handling. Healthy specimens are alert, richly coloured, grazing constantly and well-filled, without pinched bellies, faded colour or rapid breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is best described as highly aggressive, one of the most belligerent tangs. It is territorial towards other tangs, surgeonfish and similar-shaped or similar-coloured fish, and can bully or even attack a wide range of tank mates and, at feeding, the keeper's hand. It should be one of the last fish added, in a very large system, with robust, dissimilar tank mates. Do not keep it with other tangs unless the system is enormous, and avoid timid or slow fish entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeding must be heavily herbivorous and frequent. Offer dried marine algae and nori on a clip continuously, plus algae-based flakes and pellets and prepared herbivore foods several times a day. A constant supply of algae is essential for its health, colour and to temper aggression. Poor or infrequent feeding leads quickly to declining condition and disease in this demanding species. Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but the diet must remain predominantly plant based.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor long-term success, provide a minimum aquarium size of 900 L, with substantially larger, long tanks (around 2 m or more) strongly recommended for swimming room. Maintain temperature at 24–26°C, pH 8.1–8.4 and salinity around 1.020–1.026. Very strong, well-oxygenated, turbulent flow is important. Lighting can be standard reef lighting. Provide open swimming lanes and mature live rock for grazing. Powerful filtration, a large protein skimmer and regular water changes of 10–20% are essential. Clown Tangs are highly prone to white spot and stress-related disease, so pristine, stable water and a quarantine routine are critical.

Reaching around 20 cm, it is an active, algae-grazing tang that brings constant motion and colour to a large reef.

Strong water movement, excellent oxygenation and pristine water quality are especially important for this disease-prone species, so invest in efficient skimming, strong filtration and regular water changes.

Reaching around 15 cm, it is an active, constantly foraging fish that hunts across rock and sand throughout the day and buries itself in the substrate to sleep. It is a stunning reef fish, but an honest word of caution: leopard wrasses are delicate, easily starved and considered an expert-only species that needs a mature system and careful feeding to thrive.

In the aquarium it needs an established, peaceful system with abundant live rock, a productive population of small crustaceans, and a proper sand bed to bury into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe male is the terminal, more colourful phase, developing brighter green with orange to red lines and a more ornate, well-defined pattern than the female, which is a finer green-and-dark spotted \"leopard\" mesh. Males arise when a dominant female changes sex. The body is the classic elongate wrasse shape, and the fish swims with the rowing pectoral-fin motion typical of the family. Healthy specimens are alert, feed eagerly and have full, rounded bellies - a pinched stomach is a serious warning sign in this delicate group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is peaceful.

A mature tank with a live sand bed and rock providing natural micro-prey dramatically improves the odds of success.

A deep bed of fine, soft sand (at least 5 cm) is essential so the fish can bury safely - a coarse or shallow substrate is not suitable. Provide mature live rock, gentle to moderate flow and stable, well-established water conditions; this is not a fish for a new tank. A tight-fitting lid is essential, as leopard wrasses jump, especially when first introduced.

It moves constantly over open substrate, stirring the sand as it hunts. Replicating this environment means providing a large, open sand bed for foraging, mature rockwork around the edges, and plenty of unobstructed bottom space. A wide footprint matters more than height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bicolor Goatfish has a striking two-tone body, dark reddish-brown at the front and pale yellow to white at the rear as an adult, with a pair of prominent barbels under the chin. It reaches around 30 cm. Colour and pattern shift with age and mood. Healthy specimens are constantly active, foraging over the sand, well-filled through the body and quick to feed, without a hollow belly, which is a common sign of a goatfish that is not getting enough food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is best described as peaceful towards fish but predatory towards small mobile invertebrates. It ignores most tank mates but will hunt and eat ornamental shrimp, small crabs, worms and other benthic invertebrates, and may take very small fish. Suitable companions include tangs, rabbitfish, larger wrasses, angels and other robust, non-aggressive fish. It should be kept in fish-only systems, not reef aquariums, and needs an open sand bed to behave naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed as a carnivore. Offer a varied diet of chopped prawn, squid, mussel, clam, fish flesh, mysis shrimp and other meaty marine foods, fed several times daily. Because it burns energy constantly foraging, it needs frequent feeding to hold condition, in addition to the food it finds in the sand. A varied diet supports colour, weight and long-term health.

Provide a large, open sand bed for foraging and stable rockwork around the edges. Strong filtration, protein skimming and regular water changes of 10–20% are recommended, as active feeders add to the bioload.

The teardrop orange marking near the tail is unmistakable. It is a demanding fish that needs a big, oxygen-rich, well-established system, and is best suited to experienced keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, the Achilles Tang is associated with clear, high-energy Pacific reefs, particularly surge zones and reef crests where waves keep the water turbulent and highly oxygenated. These areas are rich in the benthic algae the fish grazes throughout the day. Replicating this environment in the aquarium means providing strong, well-oxygenated flow, mature live rock with algae films for grazing and plenty of open swimming space. A bare or newly set-up aquarium is rarely suitable, as this fish does best in a large, stable system with established grazing surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Achilles Tang has a rich dark body, a bright orange teardrop near the tail base, and orange, white and blue highlights on the fins and gill covers. Colour is at its best in a healthy, well-fed fish and can fade under stress or poor water quality. The adult size of around 24 cm and the need for strong swimming room must be considered before purchase. Like all surgeonfish it carries a sharp scalpel near the tail base, which should be respected during handling. Healthy specimens appear alert, well-filled through the body and grazing actively, without pinched bellies, cloudy eyes or rapid breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is best described as semi-aggressive, particularly towards other tangs and especially towards its own species. It can be kept in a community aquarium but the mix needs planning. Suitable companions include clownfish, wrasses, angels, rabbitfish and other robust reef fish that are not close in shape and colour. Housing multiple tangs, or two Achilles Tangs, is risky unless the aquarium is very large and stocked thoughtfully. Add the fish to a settled aquarium with good water quality and avoid combinations that lead to constant chasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeding should be predominantly herbivorous and consistent. Offer dried marine algae and nori sheets on a clip, algae-based flakes and pellets, and a rotation of prepared herbivore foods. A steady supply of natural algae to graze on is important for long-term health and colour. Small feeds through the day suit the fish's natural grazing behaviour better than a single large meal. Occasional meaty foods such as mysis shrimp can be offered, but the diet should remain mostly plant based. Consistent feeding also helps reduce susceptibility to disease, to which this species is prone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor long-term success, provide a minimum aquarium size of 680 L, with 900 L or larger strongly recommended for swimming room and long-term stability. A longer tank of around 1.8 m or more suits this active swimmer. Maintain temperature at 24–26°C, pH 8.1–8.4 and salinity around 1.020–1.026. Strong, well-oxygenated, turbulent flow is important, as this fish comes from high-energy surge zones. Lighting can be standard reef lighting. Aquascaping should provide open swimming lanes and mature live rock for grazing. Strong filtration, efficient protein skimming and regular water changes of 10–20% are important. This species is prone to white spot and head-and-lateral-line erosion, so stable water quality and a quarantine routine are strongly advised. It is considered reef safe, as it grazes algae and does not typically harm corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBreeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreeding in the home aquarium is not achieved and should not be expected. In nature, surgeonfish spawn in open water, often in groups, releasing eggs and sperm into the current. The larval stages drift as plankton for an extended period and require specialised conditions far beyond normal home aquarium keeping. For hobbyists, the focus should be on long-term health, correct herbivorous feeding, excellent water quality and low stress rather than attempting to breed this species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcanthurus achilles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAchilles Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear high-energy Pacific reefs, surge zones and reef crests\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10 years or more with excellent care\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSemi-aggressive, especially to other tangs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e680 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900 L or larger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHerbivore; marine algae, nori and algae-based prepared foods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–26°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.1–8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable for marine fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.020–1.026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge, established reef and fish-only systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuitable Tank Mates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable tank mates include clownfish, wrasses, angels, rabbitfish, chromis and other robust reef fish that differ in shape and colour, provided the aquarium is large and swimming room is generous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvoid Keeping With\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid keeping with other Achilles Tangs or similar surgeonfish in all but very large systems, as well as highly aggressive fish that will harass it, and avoid adding it to small or newly set-up tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Small (1-5cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234123956515,"sku":"AA2248","price":895.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (5-10cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234123989283,"sku":"AA2248-M","price":1030.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large (10-15cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234124022051,"sku":"AA2248-L","price":1185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"X-Large (15-24cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55351923540259,"sku":"AA2248-XL","price":1365.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/achilles-tang-43090654626083.webp?v=1790305841"},{"product_id":"scopas-tang","title":"Scopas Tang | Zebrasoma scopas","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scopas Tang is a hardy, handsome surgeonfish whose subtle brown-to-charcoal body is dusted with fine gold speckling.

For most hobbyists the focus should be on long-term health, correct feeding and low stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalichoeres chrysus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBanana Wrasse (Canary \/ Yellow Coris Wrasse)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndo-Pacific reefs, rubble zones and sandy areas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–8 years with good care\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeaceful to mildly assertive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy to intermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 L or larger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarnivore; meaty frozen foods, pellets and flakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–27°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.1–8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable for marine fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.020–1.026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef and marine community aquariums with a sand bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef safe with caution (may eat small invertebrates)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuitable Tank Mates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable tank mates include clownfish, tangs, rabbitfish, angels, chromis, cardinalfish and other peaceful to semi-aggressive reef fish of similar size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvoid Keeping With\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid keeping with prized small ornamental shrimp and small snails it may hunt, very aggressive fish that will harass it, and open-top tanks without a secure lid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Small (1-5cm) \/ Australian Caught","offer_id":55234124677411,"sku":"AA1763","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (5-10cm) \/ Australian Caught","offer_id":55234124710179,"sku":"AA1763-M-AU","price":79.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large (10-15cm) \/ Australian Caught","offer_id":55234124742947,"sku":"AA1763-L-AU","price":124.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (5-10cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55522109456675,"sku":"AA1763-M-IMP","price":47.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Small (1-5cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55562723623203,"sku":"AA1763-S-IMP","price":41.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large (10-15cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55562723655971,"sku":"AA1763-L-IMP","price":65.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/banana-wrasse-43090658689315.webp?v=1790305840"},{"product_id":"carpenters-flasher-wrasse","title":"Carpenters Flasher Wrasse | Paracheilinus carpenteri","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarpenter's Flasher Wrasse is a small, spectacular reef wrasse whose males \"flash\" brilliant reds, oranges and electric blues with raised fins during courtship.

For most keepers, a colourful displaying male with females is the realistic and rewarding goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCirrhilabrus cyanopleura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Fairy Wrasse (Blueside Fairy Wrasse)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWestern Pacific coral reef slopes and rubble zones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10–15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–8 years with good care\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeaceful (assertive to other wrasses)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350 L or larger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarnivore\/planktivore; small meaty foods, pellets and flakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–27°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.1–8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable for marine fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.020–1.026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef and marine community aquariums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuitable Tank Mates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable tank mates include clownfish, tangs, anthias, chromis, gobies, blennies and other peaceful to semi-aggressive reef fish, along with corals and ornamental invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvoid Keeping With\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid keeping with other fairy or flasher wrasses in smaller tanks, very aggressive fish that will harass it, and open-top tanks without a secure lid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Small (1-5cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234127593763,"sku":"AA1482-S","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (5-10cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234127626531,"sku":"AA1482","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large (10-15cm) \/ Imported","offer_id":55234127659299,"sku":"AA1482-L","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/blue-fairy-wrasse-43090659049763.webp?v=1790305844"},{"product_id":"debelius-fairy-wrasse-cirrhilabrus-adornatus","title":"Debelius Fairy Wrasse | Cirrhilabrus adornatus","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Debelius Fairy Wrasse is a small, dazzling reef wrasse that spends its day darting through the rockwork and open water in search of tiny prey.
