The lineatus fairy wrasse, scientific name Cirrhilabrus Lineatus is a peaceful fish. Their minimum tank size is 80 gallons. Lineatus fairy wrasses can grow up to 5” and can live up to 8 years. Lineatus fairy wrasses are carnivores and should be fed frozen meaty foods such as brine or mysis shrimp. Lineatus fairys should be kept singly, in mated pairs or small herums with one male and multiple females. Keeping multiple of the same species requires adequate space and rockwork. All fairy wrasses start as females, if there is multiple kept together and no male is present, the dominant female will often turn into a male. Males are similar to females in appearance but males have brighter coloration. Lineatus fairys can be kept with other fairies/wrasses. Lineatus fairy wrasses are reef safe, they will not bother coral or invertebrates. Fairy wrasses sleep in the rocks and will be swimming throughout the tank during the day. Wrasses are known for jumping and require a tight fighting lid.
