Description
The Assorted Wrasse pack features a colorful mix of wrasse species from the family Labridae, known for their active behaviors and striking appearances. These fish are not only aesthetically pleasing but also beneficial for maintaining a healthy aquarium by controlling pest populations like flatworms and bristle worms.
Commonly included species in this assortment are the Six-Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia), Christmas Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus), and Yellow Coris Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus). While each species may have specific care needs, they generally flourish in a well-established reef setting with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas.
Wrasses are also known for their burrowing habits, often seeking shelter in the substrate during the day. Although they tend to be peaceful with other fish, some territorial behavior may be displayed toward similar species. A varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and live foods will ensure they remain healthy and vibrant.
