Cirrhilabrus tonozukai females are a stunning species of wrasse prized for their vibrant colours and peaceful temperament. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, these wrasses are a popular choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking a lively yet compatible fish.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, as they require stable water parameters and a well-established tank.
Temperament: Generally peaceful, though they may show mild territorial behaviour towards conspecifics or similar species. Best kept singly or in a harem with one male and multiple females.
Diet: Carnivorous; feed a varied diet including high-quality frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and specialised pellet or flake foods formulated for marine carnivores.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) is advised to provide ample swimming space and reduce territorial disputes.

Providing a stable environment with regular water changes and a balanced diet will ensure your Cirrhilabrus tonozukai female thrives and displays its full colour potential.
