The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse can be quite appealing for their looks alone. When you add in the fact that they will help to control ich, that is even better. However, being that their main diet is feeding on the mucas and parasites of other fish, most will starve to death in captivity. You may find an exception, but typically this is the sad truth. |

The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) is sometimes called a Cleaner Wrasse. It belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.9 inches in length, the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Labroides dimidiatus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a well established aquarium.
