Cirrhilabrus jordani, commonly known as Jordan’s wrasse, is a captivating addition to a mature marine aquarium. The male displays vivid colours and dynamic swimming patterns, making it a favourite among wrasse enthusiasts.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This species requires stable water conditions and a well-established tank.
Temperament: Generally peaceful but can be territorial towards conspecifics or similar species. Best kept singly or in a harem setup with one male and multiple females.
Diet: Carnivorous. Feed a varied diet of high-quality frozen or live foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplement with specialised pellet or flake foods designed for carnivorous marine fish.
Minimum Tank Size: 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) to provide ample swimming space and territories.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with caution. Cirrhilabrus jordani is generally reef safe but may nip at small invertebrates or very delicate coral polyps.
