Hi reefers. would like to know if adding a male fairy or flasher wrasse to a system without females will result in loss of colour? Have heard of this before..

Bro, I think the african exquisite will lose the some color if there are no female..

Thumb of rule... Anything will blue,purple and green will be much dull if there are no female.. They will not lose the color completely but not so bright only.... Because they dun have the need to be so nice when there are no female to attract around..

not sure abt african ones,but i do not agree with your female theory.

alot of people locally and externally have tried pairs and still lost their colour as per single.

Hehe.. Not really sure thou.. Maybe they are missing something that is found in the ocean and not in our tanks...

But I think the male with female will have a higher chance of retaining the color den male without female... That is what i feel lar..

lol..

haha yah esp locally,in the past there is almost no female for some fairy,now adays always have,but colour still goes off.

blackin,scott fairy as usual and all those usual suspects.

Loss of colour is mostly related to nutrition. Try giving more cyclopeeze or food which contains spirulina or krill meal.

Not sure if the female help or not.

But I do like it when my male flame wrasse flashes at the female. It will show a very intense golden body colour!
