CAPTIVE CARE – This is a peaceful fish and should be kept with other peaceful tankmates. It can be kept with members of its own species if they are introduced at the same time and with only one male per tank. If an all female group is introduced to the tank, the dominant female may change to male. When first introduced to the aquarium they can be very sensitive, however, once they adjust they are typically very hardy fish. Wrasses are known jumpers so the aquarium top should be covered.
