Product Description

The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse, occurs singly, in pairs, and in groups. This
unique fish forms a symbiotic relationship with other species by
setting up a “cleaning station” to remove unwanted parasites that may
have attached themselves. The Cleaner Wrasse will invite fish to their
“cleaning station” by performing a calming up and down movement of their
tails. These fish may even clean the inside of larger fish’s mouths and
gills.

Procured
through a short supply chain in the Western Indian Ocean in very small
numbers, the African and Maldivian Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse can thrive
in the home aquarium. Requiring advanced care, we recommend this species
is only considered by the experienced marine aquarist. The Bluestreak
Cleaner Wrasse requires plenty of swimming room as they are very active
fish, and should be housed with dissimilar shaped and colored fishes in
the community marine aquarium. A tight fitting lid or canopy is a must
as they can leap from open topped aquariums or into uncovered overflow
boxes in reef ready style displays.

The
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse must be fed small quantities of fresh, meaty
food multiple times per day as they do not have the ability to eat large
meals at one sitting. Ideal offerings include small pieces of vitamin
enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and
other smaller, meaty foods. Once fully adjusted to the home aquarium
these fishes can also be offered a high quality marine flake and tiny
marine pellet food to complement their staple diet of enriched frozen
food.
