Bird Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Bird Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other large, semi-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small or docile species. Only one male per tank, but multiple females can be kept if introduced simultaneously.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A deep sand bed (at least 4 inches) is essential for burrowing at night or when startled. Excellent water quality and strong filtration are crucial. Known to jump, so a tight-fitting lid is necessary.
