Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Banana Wrasse has exquisite coloration, hardiness and high activity levels that make them very desirable in the aquarium hobby. When young, they are relatively reef safe because they choose planktonic foods and parasites over invertebrates. As they age, they are likely to consume motile inverts of all types, including snails, crabs, sea stars and urchins. If possible, add this wrasse to the aquarium last since they can be territorial. Feed a varied small meaty diet multiple times a day, as they are very active and keeping them full will help keep them away from desirable inverts. They are known predators of unwanted pests like bristle worms and mantis shrimp. They are capable jumpers at all stages of their life, so a covered aquarium is necessary. They will grow to be one foot and need ample swimming room. Juveniles are mostly yellow with facial markings. Male adults have a deep blue color with colorful fins.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
