| Paracheilinus carpenteri, Pacheilinus sp.
These wonderful fish make a fascinating display in the peaceful community tank. One of the most popular and best fish for a reef tank! Keep one male per tank. It should not be kept with other male flasher wrasses, unless the tank is very large. You can keep females together and a group of females with a single male. It is typically not aggressive toward non-related species, although large males may chase other zooplankton feeders. Males are most spectacular when they "flash" (display) toward other fishes or their reflections in the aquarium glass.
Most specimens are around 1.5"-2.5"
Western Pacific
Feeds on zooplankton. Feed a varied diet including frozen prepared foods for carnivores and herbivores, minced seafoods.
