Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus, commonly known as the Yellow-lined Fairy Wrasse, is a stunning addition to any marine aquarium. This pair showcases vibrant yellow stripes contrasted with rich pink and purple hues, making them a visual highlight in reef environments.
Temperament and Compatibility: These wrasses are peaceful and best kept in pairs or small groups. They coexist well with other non-aggressive fish species and are suitable for reef tanks, showing no tendency to harm corals or invertebrates.
Diet: Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus thrive on a varied diet including high-quality frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and specialised marine pellets. Regular feeding 2-3 times daily ensures optimal health and colour vibrancy.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. A well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock offers hiding spots and reduces stress.
Water Parameters and Environment: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.023-1.025 SG, and pH 8.1-8.4. Moderate water flow and lighting suited for reef aquariums support their natural behaviour and health.
Origin: Native to the Western Pacific, particularly around Indonesia and the Philippines.
Adding a pair of Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus to your marine aquarium brings both beauty and peaceful activity, enhancing the overall ecosystem with their graceful swimming and striking colours.
