Ornate Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Ornate 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 robust, semi-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small or docile species, or other wrasses of similar size unless the tank is very large and introduced simultaneously. May harass smaller invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a deep sand bed (at least 3-4 inches) for burrowing at night and when startled. A tightly fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers. Provide plenty of live rock for hiding places and foraging opportunities.
