Gold Bar Wrasse Africa

Quick Stats

Description

The Gold Bar Wrasse (Thalassoma hebraicum), native to the waters of Africa, is a striking fish known for its brilliant yellow-gold body with bold blue markings. This vibrant coloration and active personality make it a standout addition to large aquariums. Due to its semi-aggressive nature, it is best housed with other robust, similarly-sized fish in a well-established tank.

This wrasse thrives in a tank environment with plenty of rockwork and hiding spots, as it can be territorial. While reef compatible with caution, the Gold Bar Wrasse may pose a risk to small invertebrates, so it’s better suited to a fish-only or predator tank setup.

A carnivorous species, the Gold Bar Wrasse requires a diet rich in meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped seafood. Its active nature and dietary needs make it an excellent choice for experienced aquarists seeking a visually stunning and engaging fish for their aquarium.
