Saddle Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Saddle Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other semi-aggressive to aggressive fish of similar size. Avoid keeping with very small, docile fish or other wrasses unless the tank is very large and introduced simultaneously. May harass or consume small invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A sand bed is beneficial as they may bury themselves at night or when stressed. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential. Provide a secure lid as they are known jumpers.
