Brown Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Brown Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 250 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other large, robust fish that can tolerate its semi-aggressive nature. Avoid keeping with smaller, timid species or other wrasses unless the tank is very large and offers ample hiding spots.
• Special requirements: Requires a large aquarium 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. May jump, so a secure lid is essential.
