The Cirrhilabrus roseafascia female is a stunning wrasse species prized for its vibrant colours and peaceful temperament. Native to the western Pacific, this species is a popular choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking a lively yet compatible fish.
Temperament and Compatibility: Generally peaceful, the female Cirrhilabrus roseafascia coexists well with other non-aggressive tank mates. It is best kept with similarly sized or larger peaceful fish to avoid stress or bullying. Caution is advised when housing with very small or timid species.
Diet: This wrasse thrives on a varied diet consisting of high-quality frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplementing with specialised marine pellets or flakes helps ensure balanced nutrition.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. The aquarium should feature plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging, replicating its natural reef environment.
Reef Compatibility: Considered reef safe with caution, Cirrhilabrus roseafascia females generally do not harm corals but may occasionally nip at small invertebrates. Monitoring behaviour in reef systems is advised.
Water Parameters and Care: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.023-1.025 SG, and moderate water flow. Regular water changes and high water quality are essential for optimal health.
