Black-spotted Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Black-spotted Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons (680 liters)
• Compatibility: Best kept with other robust, temperate marine fish. Not suitable for reef tanks with small invertebrates or peaceful, slow-moving fish. May be aggressive towards conspecifics unless in a very large tank with ample hiding spots.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established temperate marine aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A deep sand bed is beneficial as they may burrow at night or when stressed. Excellent filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods.
