Keeping Rainbow Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other non-aggressive fish of similar size. May be territorial towards conspecifics or very similar-looking species in smaller tanks. Not suitable for reef tanks with small ornamental invertebrates like shrimp or crabs, as it will prey on them.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A sand bed is essential for burrowing at night or when startled. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial. Provide a varied diet of high-quality meaty foods.
