Green Blotch Quoyi Fairy Parrot Scarus Quoyi

Overview: The Green Blotch Quoyi Fairy Parrot, scientifically known as Scarus Quoyi, is a vibrant and exotic addition to the marine aquarium. Renowned for its vivid green coloration with distinctive blotches, this species adds a splash of color and activity to any tank. They are relatively large for a parrotfish, making them a centerpiece in the home aquarium.

Origin: Native to the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region, these parrotfish thrive in coral-rich areas. They are commonly found grazing on coral reefs, contributing to the health and vitality of the coral ecosystem.

Feeding: The Green Blotch Quoyi Fairy Parrot is an herbivore, primarily feeding on algae. In captivity, their diet should include high-quality marine algae, spirulina, and other vegetable-based foods. Occasional inclusion of live rock for natural algae grazing is beneficial for their health and well-being.

Tank Mates: Due to their size and dietary habits, compatible tank mates include other large, non-aggressive species. Care should be taken to avoid housing them with small, delicate fish or those with aggressive tendencies. Suitable companions might include larger clownfish, tangs, and certain species of angelfish.

Aggression: These parrotfish are generally peaceful towards other fish but can be territorial, especially towards their own kind or similar-looking species. A spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots can help minimize territorial behavior.

Experience Level: Due to their specific dietary and environmental needs, the Green Blotch Quoyi Fairy Parrot is recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Ensuring a balanced diet and maintaining the right water conditions are crucial for their health.
