Megan North –
Got this wrasse for my 80-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does show aggression toward smaller fish. I’ve had to remove a few small shrimp. Still, it’s a striking addition to the display and fits well in the tank with larger fish.
Adrian Underwood –
The wrasse arrived healthy and has been thriving in my 75-gallon tank. It’s very active and helps clean the substrate. I’ve kept it with larger, non-aggressive fish and it hasn’t caused any issues so far.
Andrea Kerr –
It’s aggressive and I had to move some of my smaller fish. The tank size is adequate, but I would recommend only keeping it with larger, dominant species. Overall, it’s a bold and interesting fish.
