Broomtail Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Broomtail Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 300 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in very large, species-specific tanks or with other large, robust fish. Not suitable for reef tanks due to predation on invertebrates and smaller fish. Can be aggressive towards conspecifics unless housed in extremely large systems with ample hiding spaces.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A deep sand bed is beneficial as they may bury themselves at night or when stressed. Excellent filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. They are jumpers, so a secure lid is essential. Diet should consist of a variety of meaty foods.
