Red-banded Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Red-banded Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other semi-aggressive to peaceful fish of similar size. Avoid keeping with very small, timid fish or aggressive fin-nippers. Can be kept in pairs or small groups if introduced simultaneously into a sufficiently large aquarium with ample hiding spots.
• Special requirements: Requires a sand bed of at least 3-4 inches for burrowing at night or when startled. A well-established tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding is essential. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial for their health.
