Leopard Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Leopard Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other reef-safe fish, but can be intimidated by aggressive tank mates. Best kept with other peaceful wrasses, gobies, and non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping with large, predatory fish or very boisterous species.
• Special requirements: Requires a mature aquarium with a deep sand bed (at least 3-4 inches or 7-10 cm) for burrowing at night or when startled. Abundant live rock with crevices for hiding is also essential. They are sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require stable parameters. A tight-fitting lid is crucial as they are known jumpers.
